Motoparts and its CompressAir and Pasco divisions, well-established since 1967 and recognized across the province as partners of choice for industrial companies, are proud to announce a major evolution with the launch of Equipex industrial equipment and supplies, marking a new era of growth and innovation in its strategic development.

Acquired in June 2022 by investor groups MB Capital and GEP Capital, the new brand is part of a modernization plan that presents the company as a key player in the fields of compressed air, industrial supplies and equipment rental. "With this change, we aim to bring greater synergy between the various products and services offered to customers, with a view to optimizing their operations, improving supply management and, above all, making it simpler and more efficient for industrial companies to receive integrated, customized solutions through a one-stop shop," says Equipex General Manager Charles Lemieux.

The ultimate goal set by management is to propel the company forward by capitalizing on the team's strength and extensive expertise. "Since the arrival of the new group of shareholders and a new governance structure, we have undertaken a transformation of the corporate culture, orienting it towards a collaborative approach between the teams. Today, with the regrouping under the Equipex name, the business potential and human potential enable us to reach new heights," says Éric Coulombe, a member of the management team.

The new Equipex brand is committed to firmly positioning itself as a leader in the industrial equipment and supplies market. With sales in excess of $30 million and an extensive presence throughout Quebec, Equipex is positioned as the largest independent Atlas Copco distributor in Canada. Strengthened by its solid partnerships and loyalty to its customers, Equipex aims to mobilize its qualified, experienced and committed experts to increase business productivity.
