TRANSFORM JOINS FORCES WITH EXPERTEC IN BUILDING A NATIONAL UPFITTING PLATFORM

This union brings together two of Canada’s leading specialists in light-duty commercial fleet upfitting — united by shared values, complementary strengths, and a commitment to building lasting customer partnerships.

Under a shared ownership and leadership structure, Transform and Expertec have united to offer a stronger national upfitting and service platform serving business, municipal, and government fleets from East to West.

For our customers, it means working with the same trusted teams you know, now backed by service reach across Western Canada, expanded technical capabilities, and resources to tackle everything from standard work vans to complex, highly customized builds.

The cultural fit was immediate… our values, work ethic and customer focus aligned so naturally.

From our earliest discussions, it was clear Transform and Expertec share more than an industry — we share a way of doing business. Both companies believe in taking the time to understand each customer’s operation and delivering tailored solutions that match requirements. That consultative, partnership-focused approach has been central to how we’ve each built long-term relationships.

The cultural fit was immediate. Our leadership teams found that our values, work ethic, and customer focus aligned so naturally that the process of joining forces came together quickly and smoothly. The timing was right — and the fit was right.

What This Means for Our Customers

The same trusted people and service you’ve always known

•

Broader national service reach — East–West coverage

•

An expanded product portfolio, including medium-duty service-body truck capability

•

Deeper technical resources — including in-house design engineering

•

Seamless experience as services, operations, and customer support systems align over the coming year

This partnership combines Transform’s expertise in large fleet programs across the GTA and Southern Ontario with Expertec’s broader scale, operational process, and coverage across Western Canada and the Southwestern U.S. It also unites complementary technical strengths — notably Expertec’s in-house design engineering team, which excels at solving challenges for complex fleets and highly specialized trades, and medium-duty service-body truck capability.

Our shared vendor relationships — with trusted partners such as Ranger Design and Spacekap — give us combined buying power. This means competitive value, stability in supply, and continued access to the high-quality products and components both companies are known for.

Over the coming year, our teams will be aligning services, operations, and customer support systems. This will ensure a seamless experience for fleets operating anywhere in our combined network — whether they work locally or from East to West.

Both companies have been approached before about merging — but the fit was never right. For us, scale alone wasn’t enough; it had to be the right people, the right culture, and a clear benefit for our customers. This partnership delivers exactly that — and with the support of our shared key vendors, we’re stronger than ever.

As a visible sign of what we’re building together, you’ll start seeing an updated Transform logo with the endorsement line An Expertec Company. This symbolizes our long-term commitment to working as one team while preserving the Transform identity customers know and trust.

At the end of the day, partnerships succeed when you work with people you trust, who share your values, and who make the work better, not harder. That’s exactly what this is.

We’re proud to take this step together — and excited for what it means for our customers, our vendor partners, and the industry.
