Expanding Our Operational Footprint to Western Canada.
On October 18th, 2021, the Protech Group acquired Lynx Thermoset Coating Ltd. based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The manufacturing site will remain operational, with all employees joining the Protech Group family.
With over 40 years of experience, Lynx brings a robust portfolio of high-quality thermoset powder coatings and a strong reputation in the Canadian market. The manufacturing site in Calgary, Alberta, will remain fully operational. All employees have joined the Protech Group, ensuring continuity and local expertise for the customers.
The facility will now serve as a custom order hub with a fast-turnaround model, as well as a warehouse stocking hundreds of standard colors produced across Protech Group locations in North America.
“I’m pleased to welcome our newest team members to the Protech Group and look forward to all we can accomplish together as one Protech Group,” said David Ades, President, Protech Group. “The addition of Lynx’s team, expertise, and operations provides a strong platform for growth in Western Canada.”
“We strongly believe that being part of the Protech Group will accelerate operational growth by increasing market access through the Protech Group’s existing sales and distribution channels,” added Derek Sheppard, former President of Lynx Thermoset Coating Ltd and now Facility Manager at the Protech Group.
This acquisition reinforces Protech Group’s commitment to growth through regional integration and operational excellence. By welcoming the Lynx team, we strengthen our thermoset powder coatings capabilities and deepen our service and presence in Canada.
