What Sherbrooke O.E.M. does
Sherbrooke O.E.M. Ltd. is a privately held Canadian manufacturer founded in 1997 in Sherbrooke, Quebec by Alain Brasseur and Bryan Sinram. The company designs, fabricates, and integrates heavy-duty recycling and waste-sorting equipment — including industrial conveyors, trommel and vibratory screens, magnetic separators, eddy current separators, feeders, bunkers, structural platforms, and in-house plant automation (MCCs, VFDs, PLCs, HMIs) — at a 60,000 sq ft fabrication plant with cranes up to 50 tons. These core components are combined into five turnkey system lines: Construction & Demolition (C&D) recycling, Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) sorting, single-stream Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs), scrap metal recycling, and aggregates/custom processing. NIR and AI-based optical sorting is supplied by sister company Eagle Vizion and integrated natively into systems from the design stage.
The business operates on a direct enterprise sales model with no distribution or e-commerce channel; every system is custom-quoted per project based on material profile, throughput, and layout constraints, with engineering-led scoping. The company has 100+ employees and a 28-year track record of 200+ installations across Canada and the United States, with named customers including Waste Management, Matrec-GFL, Southern Waste Systems / Sun Recycling, Capitol Recycling, Marpan Recycling, and Melimax. Revenue is generated from one-time equipment and turnkey project sales, supplemented by a Parts & Service stream that covers Sherbrooke OEM equipment as well as other brands.
The company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investment or acquisition activity, and reported revenue is not publicly available. Operations are vertically integrated in a single Quebec facility, with a deliberate single-source turnkey positioning designed to remove the interface risk typical of multi-vendor recycling plant builds.
