“The unfortunate situation with Russia and Ukraine will also affect our industry and we are waiting to see how the various sanctions will further impact our occidental clients”, Eloise Harvey, CEO of EPIQ Machinery.

Born in Montreal, Éloïse Harvey obtained her Bachelor of Engineering & Management from McMaster University (Hamilton, ON). In 1999, Éloïse joined Mecfor (equipment manufacturer), the youngest of the four companies in the family group (Ceger) as a Technical Sales Representative.

Over the years, her dynamism and her vision for business development led her to work her way up within the growing organization. Indeed, from 12 employees and 2 million in turnover when started, Mecfor saw its number of employees and its volume multiply by 10 during the first twenty years of Éloïse's career. In 2018, Éloïse and a group of a few operator partners bought Mecfor from Ceger.

The arrival of a patient financial partner who invests in the long term represents the first step towards an aggressive program of organic and inorganic growth. This was followed, a few years later, by the merger of Mecfor and Advanced Dynamics to create the largest equipment supplier in Canada for the aluminium industry: EPIQ Machinery.  Éloïse becomes CEO of EPIQ Machinery in August 2021.
