In 2019, Aebi Schmidt Canada was incorporated to offer an increased focus on our Canadian customers. The sales and service organization extends its reach beyond Airports to meet the needs of municipalities, government customers, and contractors offering the extensive range of Aebi Schmidt Group products, services and solutions. With the acquisition of Équipements Lourds Papineau Inc. (ELP) in 2020, we are now even closer to the Canadian markets than ever before. The combination of ELP’s heritage with the huge product range and the full-service approach of the Aebi Schmidt Group, enables us to serve our customers in Canada even better and more comprehensively. In 2024, a new sales and service facility was opened in Brantford, Ontario which aims to enhance the efficiency of serving their Canadian airport and municipal customers, along with service contractors.
ELP
It is often the newcomers which show where the future is heading. Équipements Lourds Papineau (ELP) was founded in 1991, and realized earlier than many others that industries aren't looking necessarily for equipment, but for solutions. So, although relatively young in the market, ELP’s products have now earned a reputation for their ease of use, speed and effective operational methods. Today, ELP, now known as Aebi Schmidt Canada, offers a full range of snow removal equipment, various models of dump bodies, spreaders and more, and its patented, interchangeable body system (IBS-100) can change a truck’s purpose in under 10 minutes.
Aebi
Aebi, founded in 1883 in Burgdorf, Switzerland, is the world's leading brand for vehicles that enable the safe mechanical cultivation and maintenance of extreme slopes and particularly demanding terrain. In 1976, Aebi launched the first Terratrac on the market, and it remains the benchmark reference in its class today. The current portfolio is supplemented by powerful transporters with implement carrier functions, which enable versatile and multifunctional bodies and attachments. This makes Aebi attractive not only for agriculture, but also to the municipal sector.
Schmidt
Schmidt, founded in 1920 in St. Blasien, Germany, has significantly driven and shaped the technological development of winter maintenance equipment for over 100 years. In addition to plows, snow cutters, spreaders and sprayers, a wide range of sweeping machines have been developed since the 1960s. Schmidt has always had, and still has, the ambition to think ahead and offer the best solutions through innovation. It has thus developed into a leading and almost indispensable brand for local authorities, service providers and airports.
MB
The origin of M-B Companies Inc. dates back to 1907. The company was formed by three German craftsmen, the Meili brothers and Paul Blumberg, in a small workshop in New Holstein, Wisconsin, where, along with other sites, MB is still located. MB built its first broom in 1922 and today is the leading airport equipment brand in many global areas. Its vision is, and has always been, to be the leader in performance, reliability and customer service.
