The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has announced its plan to open an office in Ottawa in 2026 – a significant milestone in its commitment to supporting more than 100 member companies in Canada. The investment, according to an Oct. 1 news release, furthers AEM’s goal to be the leading voice for North American equipment manufacturers, which power critical sectors such as agriculture, construction, forestry, mining, and utilities.
To lead these efforts on the ground, AEM has hired Alexandre Mattard-Michaud as its new Director of Government Affairs in Canada. Based in Ottawa, Mattard-Michaud brings over twenty years of experience in Canadian government and parliamentary affairs. He will be responsible for representing AEM’s member interests and championing the industry’s top policy priorities with lawmakers and regulators.
The equipment manufacturing industry in Canada supports more than 152,000 workers and contributes $41 billion a year to the national economy.
