Company Profile: History, CapEx, and Strategic Growth

A chronology of our investments in precision manufacturing and specialized technology (Eagle Vizion) to guarantee client performance.

Expertise Validated by Tier 1 Operators

Sherbrooke OEM operates at the intersection of **heavy OEM engineering** and **high-purity optical technology (Eagle Vizion)**. This dualism provides a unique resilience, allowing us to supply robust, long-life structural components for the toughest environments (C&D, Scrap, Ash).

Our credibility in reliability is proven by **recurring contracts with major operators** for critical infrastructure replacement. These clients, including **Waste Management (WM), Coastal Waste, GFL Environmental, and Wendt Corp.**, rely on our specialized engineering for components like **Apron Conveyors** and **Shredder Chain Replacement**—a true validation of our Tier 1 durability.

Chronology of Growth and Strategic CapEx

1997: Company Co-Founded

Sherbrooke OEM is co-founded by Alain Brasseur and his American partner, beginning operations focused on recycling equipment and segregated collection.

Early 2000s: Pivot to Heavy CRD/C&D

Engineering expertise shifts to heavy environmental machinery, beginning work on critical infrastructure for Construction, Renovation, and Demolition (CRD/C&D) residue centers.

2011: Launch of Plastimum Technology

Creation of the Plastimum associated entity, utilizing a unique SOEM-designed process for advanced plastics recovery. This established our capability to achieve **ultra-high purity (>95%)** in polymer materials.

c. 2017: Consolidation of Ownership

Alain Brasseur secures full ownership of Sherbrooke OEM, followed by significant international contract wins, underscoring the company's shift toward focused specialization.

c. 2019: CapEx for Precision Machining

Acquisition of a **Live Tooling Lathe** to modernize our internal capacity for precision mechanical component manufacturing (shafts, rotating parts). This ensures the high accuracy and **durability** required for high-stress operational environments.

2022: CapEx for Digital Laser Cutting (BLM LT14)

Major investment ($950,000 contribution) in the **BLM GROUP LT14 FIBER** laser cutting system. This critical acquisition enables the automated, five-axis cutting of heavy structural tubes and beams, guaranteeing **superior structural integrity** and precision joinery for all heavy OEM equipment.

****Serving the United States market since 1997

Focus on Durability and TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)

  • **Structural Reliability:** Our CapEx ensures the high tolerance required for components like **Apron Conveyors** and **Chain Replacement** for major US operators, minimizing long-term **OPEX**.
  • **Purity Guarantee:** The core focus of **Eagle Vizion** is on **Flake Analyzers** and **AI-driven QC** systems to achieve the extreme purity levels demanded by global *bottle-to-bottle* and chemical recyclers.
  • **Global Reach:** While our OEM infrastructure dominates North America, our EV technology acts as our primary **export vector**, delivering high-value sorting solutions to clients in Europe and Asia.
