"This acquisition is in line with our growth strategy and will be the first step to consolidate the presence of Wood Wyant in every province of the country," he added.
 
"With a presence of more than 40 years in Manitoba, we could not have found a better company in terms of promoting our values such as family spirit, respect and customer service. We are convinced that this transaction will ensure the continuity of our operations," says Mr. Rick Labossière, President of Five-L Equipment Ltd.
