Our History

1987 – Surplec is officially registered.
From his modest apartment, Mr. Mario Lambert manages numerous lists of electrical inventory that he will collect from electricians  (Maîtres Électriciens) and industries of the Eastern Townships. The product lists are redistributed to these same customers who welcome this new concept to avoid product delays and save money. These customers are also very happy to see their stagnant inventories finally move. It’s an instant success!

1988 – The opening of the first warehouse (1000 square feet) to store materials purchased or on consignment. Danny Bennett becomes the first employee of Surplec. He will later become a shareholder, vice-president and president of Surplec Industriel Inc.

The territory served by the company is rapidly expanding throughout Quebec and the demands for circuit breakers, panels, cables and all types of used and surplus electrical equipment are constantly growing. Surplec will purchase the surpluses of all major projects in the 80s and 90s and offer one of the largest physical and potential inventories in Canada

1990 – The premises of 149 Godin are inaugurated. A 6000 sq. Ft. Warehouse is filled with Teak and other surplus electrical cables. 8 more expansions will be launched in the next 15 years.

To lead this new workshop, Sylvain Roy (August 8, 1994) joins the Surplec team. He is now a shareholder of Surplec HV Inc.

1997 – Surplec obtains its ISO-9001 certification, becoming the first in its field in North America.

1997 – (Fall) Groban (USA) asks Surplec to represent its products in Canada. At that time, it was unclear that in January 1998, an ice storm would hit Quebec allowing it to sell more than 1,000 portable and industrial devices. Surplec Generators was created.

2004 – The low voltage division was renamed Surplec Industriel Inc.,  Mr. Danny Bennett became president and principal shareholder; the others being Jocelyn Pellerin, Serge Trépanier and Mario Lambert. Surplec Industrial Inc. serves Canadian customers and takes care of everything with 600V and less…
