THE BERCOMAC HISTORY

1983

Bercomac, our humble beginings…

Bertrand Vachon, one of the founders was always passionate about developing tools or equipment to facilitate chores for the end users.

1992

Mr. Vachon who is free from his principal occupation, offers to his wife, Mrs. Louiselle Roy Vachon, his oldest daughter Mrs. Sylvie Vachon and her husband Mr. Alain Acteau, to join him to reactivate Bercomac Limitée’s activities

1993

That same year, Mr Hazen Sherry, a long time acquaintance of Mr. Vachon, who was with AYP (American Yard Products) contacted Mr. Vachon for a new project.

1994

The company continued with this project for 3 years while adding other products...

1994

So it was decided upon that each partner would play a specific role: Mr. Vachon would design the products, Mr. Acteau would fabricate the jigs and other tooling required to build the products, Mrs. Vachon would supervise the chain of supplies and Mr. Vachon’s daughter Sylvie would be in charge of marketing.

1995

A new concept called ‘’Industrial Motel’’ allowing to rent premises in St. Méthode de Frontenac (now named Adstock). The choice was made on this small active and involved municipality. It is also well situated, close to most of the suppliers and sub-contractors.

1998

The company buys the premises they are using.

1999

A section is added to the factory to facilitate better handling of the products.

2000

The company has a warehouse built to gain more storage space.

2001

Mrs. Roy Vachon steps down to take an active and well deserved retirement. She, therefore, gains the title of the company’s first retired person. Mr. Vachon who is also thinking about modifying his activities, passes on the responsibilities of General Manager to M. Alain Acteau. This way, he can devote himself to what he loves the most………developing new products!

2004

80% of its products are winter accessories therefore Bercomac tries to diversify by increasing the development of spring products. Among others, the first log loader specifically designed for ATVs, entirely made of aluminum.

2004

Space becomes more and more restricted on the production floor, in the storage warehouse and even in the offices but there isn’t any possibility to expand on the actual premises so new facilities are built.

2005

In fact, operations started in the new premises on January 5, 2005. The building that served as a warehouse was moved and converted separately from the main building to install our Research and Development center.

2009

The company concludes deals with Swedish and Norwegian distributors to assure the accessibility of the products for ATVs and UTVs in Scandinavia.

2010

The natural evolution of their product line leads the company towards the development of accessories for the Compact and Sub-compact tractor market.

2014

Wanting to continue the development of spring products, the company adds 2 new products...

2015

Bercomac is very fortunate to be able to increase business every year for winter products but there were some slower periods in production which needed to be filled in order to keep our staff busy on a yearly basis.

2016

Our beautiful story continues…

2017

To ensure the longevity of the enterprise, it was time to take steps to secure the participation of future replacements of the heads of the company.

2019

Passing down of the torch.

Having put much time and effort in preparing him for this position, it is with great pride that the torch of the company has been handed down to the 3^rd generation of family members. Sebastien Acteau, son of Sylvie Vachon and Alain Acteau has taken the reigns as CEO as of December 2019.
