Beckhoff Automation opens new location in Laval, Que.

August 31, 2018 – Beckhoff Automation has opened its second Canadian location in Laval, Quebec to provide sales and service support in the region.

The 2,223-square-foot facility sits within Greater Montreal and features collaborative space for Beckhoff customers and employees to develop innovative automation and control projects. A dedicated training room is available for customers to increase their engineering knowledge of Beckhoff PC-based control solutions and to enhance programming expertise in areas such as PLC, motion control, safety technology, IoT connectivity and more.

“The strong legacy of manufacturing in Greater Montreal, and Quebec in general, spans a number of industries that increasingly rely on PC- and EtherCAT-based control technologies,” said Calvin Wallace, managing director of Beckhoff Canada.

Ted Sarazin, regional sales manager for Quebec and eastern Canada, runs day-to-day activities at the Laval facility. “We are excited about all the new opportunities that the Laval office now makes possible,” said Sarazin. “Customers across Canada, and regionally here in Quebec, have recognized the benefits of control systems that feature PC-based hardware, EtherCAT networking and TwinCAT software technology. This office location makes direct interactions with customers more efficient as we provide local product support and application engineering to help their business operations grow.”

The Canadian headquarters of Beckhoff Automation is located in Mississauga, Ontario.
