JLD-Laguë Group—headquartered in Laval, Quebec, and operators of one of the main Canadian networks of John Deere equipment dealers, with 16 branches across eastern Ontario and Quebec—has announced its acquisition of truck maintenance shop Atelier Genytech Inc. It was made through its TransDiff JDH division.
Atelier Genytech, founded in 2009 and centered in Laurier-Station, Quebec, specializes in the maintenance and repair of all makes of heavy vehicles, offering a range of personalized mechanical services, such as preventive maintenance, engine rebuilding, and alignment.
The company is a TruckPro member, the largest network of independent heavy vehicle repair centers in Canada with over 120 service centers. It offers customers a North American warranty honored in more than 1,100 service centers in Canada and the US.
“We’re pleased to welcome Atelier Genytech. They’re an excellent addition to the Group. This acquisition allows us to expand our coverage of the territory with a sixth service center and serve all makes of trucks, at all stages of their useful lives,” stated Terry Enepekides, president of JLD-Laguë Group. “Our province-wide network offers a great opportunity to grow Atelier Genytech and more closely support their customers as well as ours.”
The company remains in a good position to continue to build its market presence and meet the needs of its customers, maintaining its excellent after-sales support expertise.
“The addition of Atelier Genytech allows TransDiff to grow as a team and be even closer to its customers by having a presence in the Laurier-Station, Lotbinière, area,” said Éric Boulianne, general manager of TransDiff JDH, a seller and provider of Peterbilt services. “It also allows us to operate a second SAAQ service center and offer the alignment service.”
Outgoing Atelier Genytech owners Danny and wife, Edith Boissonneault summed up: “We’re proud that Atelier Genytech will remain locally owned and is joining a strong group which includes five dealerships in the trucking industry in addition to its John Deere and commercial rental business which consists of over 60 branches. As the latest addition to this group, the company will be well-positioned to grow and face the challenges of our sector of activity.”
Now in the heavy duty-repair business, JLD-Laguë Group is on the Farm Equipment Dealer 100—a ranking of the top 100 North American farm equipment dealers.
