Equipment Sales & Service Limited (ESS) has acquired the machinery parts business and inventory of UAP Inc., which was formerly known as Belcher Machinery Parts.

ESS has been supporting the construction, mining and forestry industries with quality aftermarket parts for 75 years and is committed to ensuring continued service.

Following the acquisition, ESS will consolidate its Quebec operations. The branch will focus on selling aftermarket parts and undercarriages, mainly from the Berco and ITM brands.

“ESS will consolidate its existing business in Quebec City and operate it seamlessly from UAP’s QC facility at 160 Rue de Rotterdam, Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Quebec,” said George Parps, vice president of ESS Parts Eastern Canada.
