Born in Montreal, Éloïse Harvey obtained her Bachelor of Engineering & Management from McMaster University (Hamilton, ON). In 1999, Éloïse joined Mecfor (equipment manufacturer), the youngest of the four companies in the family group (Ceger) as a Technical Sales Representative.
Over the years, her dynamism and her vision for business development led her to work her way up within the growing organization. Indeed, from 12 employees and 2 million in turnover when started, Mecfor saw its number of employees and its volume multiply by 10 during the first twenty years of Éloïse's career. In 2018, Éloïse and a group of a few operator partners bought Mecfor from Ceger.
The arrival of a patient financial partner who invests in the long term represents the first step towards an aggressive program of organic and inorganic growth. This was followed, a few years later, by the merger of Mecfor and Advanced Dynamics to create the largest equipment supplier in Canada for the aluminium industry: EPIQ Machinery. Éloïse becomes CEO of EPIQ Machinery in August 2021.
