Sepro Opens New Daughter Company in Canada

Firaz Sharaf
As part of a global initiative to better serve regional customers, Sepro Group, La Roche sur Yon, France, has launched a new daughter company to serve the Canadian Market, Sepro Canada, located in Montréal.

Firaz Sharaf, an experienced industrial automation professional, has been appointed as Canadian National Sales Manager. The Canadian daughter company will run in parallel with Sepro America, the U.S. daughter company, which has managed activities in Canada until this year. Along with the head office in France, Sepro America will provide sales and service support, automation engineering and training for the new entity.

"Since the 2007 creation of Sepro America, and the opening of Sepro Mexico a year later, we have seen our market share in these countries grow dramatically”,explains Jean-Michel Renaudeau, CEO of Sepro Group. "The next logical step is now to establish a local presence in the other important North American market. In other words, we intend to be Canadian in Canada.”

Most recently, he was Director, Business Development for Rose Integration, a major supplier of precision machined components and complex mechanical assemblies for aerospace and other demanding markets. He holds a BEng. Degree from University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom.
