GLOBOCAM, Quebec’s largest heavy truck dealership network, announced today that its has acquired Tardif Diesel in Estrie, an established family business, which specializes in the sale and repair of Freightliner and Western Star heavy trucks.

Customers at the rebranded Estrie site, which will be known as GLOBOCAM Estrie, have been adapting smoothly to the transition which began in July, as has the rejuvenated team and its new general manager, Dominique Beauregard. “With more than 20 years of experience in management positions, including 15 years as General Manager of heavy truck dealerships, Dominique is the perfect person to lead this team of experts,” said Maxime Boyer, GLOBOCAM’s Vice-President and CEO. “We are pleased to be able to better serve our customers with this acquisition in Estrie and to simultaneously strengthen our brand. The addition of Dominique to the team, who is an experienced manager in the field, will enable us to extend and standardize GLOBOCAM’s service into another region of Quebec and to attract additional talent,” said Mr. Boyer.
“I am very proud to take on the General Manager role, to be part of the GLOBOCAM family and to contribute to its growth and expansion. Customer service has always been my first priority and I intend to maintain that focus going forward. For example, this transaction enables the GLOBOCAM Estrie team to make available new Freightliner trucks directly in the Estrie region,” said Dominique Beauregard, GLOBOCAM Estrie General Director.
“Tardif Diesel is a family business that has built up a solid team and a more than three-decade long track record. These include approximately thirty professionals who are experts in their fields and passionate about what they do. The human side of GLOBOCAM and its vision of service care are strong selling points in attracting new talent. I’m excited to see what the company that was started and built by my parents will be able to accomplish in terms of growth during the coming years,” says Mr. Jean-Marc Tardif, President, who had taken over the family business in recent years.
A PLAN THAT CONTINUES
GLOBOCAM stepped up its growth trajectory rapidly after it acquired dealers in Quebec City and Lévis in 2016, and in the Beauce region in 2021.

There is no doubt that the pandemic situation that has prevailed for almost 2 years now has created new challenges within the heavy truck industry.
As you already know, there is a shortage of parts around the world and our manufacturers are having serious problems producing parts intended for the construction or repair of trucks. This unprecedented situation is notably caused by widespread logistics problems, an interrupted supply of raw materials used in the production of these parts and supplier plant closures related to COVID-19.
Coupled with these shortages comes the skyrocketing absenteeism rate due to the virus, a glaring labour shortage that continues and a cold season that gives front-line teams no rest.
At GLOBOCAM, our teams work hard every day to keep your trucks on the road and, like the rest of the industry, we are also affected by the collateral effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Admittedly, all the factors mentioned above cause delays in the repair and maintenance of certain trucks and we are sincerely sorry.
Please know that we are aware of this unfortunate situation and that we are working to improve it and find quick solutions so as not to affect the quality of our service.
