The history behind OEH

OEH was founded in 1992 by Gaston Lachance and Michel Pouliot, who have past experience in the repair, maintenance as well as of operating heavy-duty equipment. With their knowledge of the mechanical and construction fields, the two entrepreneurs created OEH in order to offer a turnkey service to clients interested in purchasing hydraulic lifting equipment. Over the years, the company experienced substantial growth and now has more than twenty qualified and experienced employees.

Prepare for succession

The years have passed and Mr. Lachance and Pouliot are now at the stage to think about succession in order to secure the future of their company. Therefore, Mr. Mathieu Pouliot-Tourigny and Mr. François Rochon, long standing OEH employees, were recently promoted as partners within the company. Besides their broad knowledge of the company, the two new partners will receive the necessary support to help them throughout the management transition. Despite the changes to come, the owners want to ensure that their clients will continue to receive and benefit from an exceptional customer service, which is one of OEH’s trademarks.
