When Pierre Paré was hired in 1983 as a newly minted agricultural engineer by Machinex, a small Quebec agricultural equipment manufacturer, he moved into a small office next to the reception desk at the entrance of the company’s lone building in the town of Plessisville, an hour’s drive southwest of Quebec City.
Forty-one years later, Paré is president and CEO of the company, which has evolved into a global supplier of high-tech, turnkey recycling sorting systems that are designed and manufactured in a fast-growing, campus-style industrial park that engulfs the company’s original building.
“No one in Canada—and few anywhere—can do what we do on the scale we do it,” said Paré. “We’re not just an integrator. We develop our own complete sorting systems, everything from equipment to software, that give our clients full service. We’re a one-stop shop.”
According to Paré, Machinex became the first company in Canada to design machinery for material recycling facilities (or MRF) when it entered what was then a niche field in the late 1980s.
