1993: A Fortuitous Meeting
In 1993, Marc Cote and Eric Maier were managing their own businesses, frequently encountering each other in the tight-knit industry. Realizing the potential advantages of collaboration over competition, they decided to meet for a business lunch. Unbeknownst to them, this meeting would soon mark the beginning of Everest Automation, a journey in which our valued customers have played an integral role.
1993-2000: Harmonizing Efforts
Marc and Eric swiftly agreed to share their sales territory instead of competing unnecessarily. This decision laid the foundation for a strong and enduring partnership. While their companies continued to operate in parallel, they collaborated closely, harmonizing their methods and strategies. Over the next seven years, their goals and values increasingly aligned, ultimately merging into a shared vision for future plans.
2000: The Birth of Everest Automation
In 2000, Marc and Eric officially formed Everest Automation as one singular company. This strategic unification marked a significant milestone, combining their strengths and resources to better serve our clients and expand our reach.
2000-2010: Rapid Growth and Industry Leadership
Following the creation of Everest Automation, we quickly became a formidable force in the process industry. By acquiring and integrating new sales partnerships, we fueled our growth and expanded our capabilities. Each success built upon the last, and we rapidly emerged as one of the premier solutions providers in Eastern Canada. Our unwavering commitment to helping customers by providing innovative solutions and exceptional support services was a key driver behind our rapid success, solidifying our reputation as an industry leader.
2018: Strategic Expansion
In 2018, we took a significant step forward by expanding into Ontario. This bold move marked a new chapter in our history, allowing us to serve a broader market and further solidify our presence in the industry. We continued to grow through strategic acquisitions across Ontario, Nova Scotia, and other provinces and territories.
