About Us

OUR ROOTS

The EMU adventure began in 1983, when two friends, Réjean Potvin (photo) and Claude L'Héreault, decided to offer a personalized service to help companies in the Quebec City area reduce their handling costs and, at the same time, increase their storage space. The need was obvious, and the company's growth since its creation is proof of this. EMU has grown from two friends to more than 100 employees.

40 years later, the company is a household name across the province, thanks to its three strategic locations in Quebec City, Montreal and Chicoutimi. A name known and recognized above all for the excellence of its consistently personalized service, despite its status as a provincial leader. Today, the company is owned by Réjean Potvin's three sons, who have preserved the family values handed down by the founders.

OUR CULTURE

EMU is a company focused on its employees and its customers. In both cases, we view our relationship as a partnership.

Space optimization

Our mission can be summed up in three words: to expand from within. The acronym in our name stands for “Better Used Space” - Espaces Mieux Utilisés in French.

EMU offers a wide range of material handling equipment, from simple hand trucks to forklifts with a capacity of 100,000 lbs.

But the EMU team doesn't just offer material handling equipment. We can fit out or completely refit a warehouse to help our customers save space. We draw up the plans, advise the customer and then supply everything needed to fit out the new space.
