Häfele Canada has appointed Dave Stojni as chief executive officer and managing director, bringing an experienced building products executive to lead the company's next phase of growth in the Canadian market.
Stojni joins the global hardware and lighting supplier following senior leadership positions at SBP/Alexandria Moulding and Doman Building Materials. His experience spans sales transformation, customer relationships, distribution operations and business development.
“Häfele has a reputation for quality and innovation, and I am proud to be associated with a global leader in this industry,” Stojni said. “What drew me here is the combination of a remarkably diverse portfolio and the entrepreneurial spirit of this organization.”
As he assumes leadership, Stojni has identified three immediate priorities: enhancing the customer experience, expanding Häfele's brand visibility across Canada and improving operational efficiency to better serve customers.
He also sees opportunities to increase the company's Canadian market share, particularly in project business, integrated lighting solutions and Service+ by Häfele, the company's planning and customization offering.
“My approach is all about listening, to our customers, our teammates and our supplier partners,” Stojni said. “It is about taking the time to understand their business and solving problems together.”
Most recently, Stojni served as vice president of sales at SBP/Alexandria Moulding, where he helped lead a transformation that broadened the company's product offering beyond traditional mouldings. Previously, he served as general manager for Ontario at Doman Building Materials, overseeing multiple distribution locations and their business operations.
The appointment comes as Häfele looks to strengthen its position among Canadian cabinetmakers, furniture manufacturers, designers and builders.
Häfele Canada supplies furniture and cabinet hardware, architectural hardware, kitchen and storage solutions, and integrated lighting products. The company also provides specialized services, including lighting design, to support professionals in the design and manufacturing industries.
