ECA Canada has acquired the Calgary, Alberta-based Ridgeline Equipment.
The acquisition serves to strengthen ECA Canada’s position in western Canada, expanding its aftermarket service and parts offerings for the foundation, construction, oil and gas and drilling sectors.
Ridgeline, founded in 2016, Â specializes in delivering field service solutions, with expertise in engines, transmissions, torque converters, final drives, and hydraulic cylinders.
The acquisition provides ECA Canada access to Ridgeline’s extensive experience, equipment fleet and wide-reaching network.
“We are delighted to welcome Ridgeline Equipment into the ECA family,” said Roy Kern, President and CEO of ECA.

ECA (Equipment Corporation of America) entered Canada by acquiring Special Construction Machines of Toronto in 1999. The company deepened its commitment to the Canadian market in 2012 by building a new facility stocked with its full line of equipment to house 16 employees and more than $4 million in parts.Â
In April, ECA Canada announced its plans to open a 24,000 square foot facility in Calgary by the end of the year to support its growing presence in the region. ECA is also working to establish a new site in Maple Ridge, British Columbia.
