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 3rd generation of family members. Sebastien Acteau, son of Sylvie Vachon and Alain Acteau has taken the reigns as CEO as of December 2019.
Sebastien, like many offsprings of entrepreneurs, has been working for the company since his early teens, dabbling in many different tasks such as different positions on the production line as well as working in the office. He has been full time with Bercomac for 12 years now and has fulfilled many different positions such as director of quality as well as the director of IT. He also is the director of Mahindra Canada East, a distribution center which assembles and distributes the Mahindra tractors to the Canadian dealers.
To accommodate the evergrowing operations of the company, Mr. Guillaume Labbé, has been entrusted with the quality control/continuous improvement responsibilities. In conjuncture with his role as director of the R&D, his natural ability for improvement, not only for products but also for procedures, his implication is an important step towards the expansions this company striving to achieve.
For his part, Mr. Alain Acteau continues to be implicated part-time, assisting in continuous improvement projects with various departments.
