Diesel-Bec

What Diesel-Bec does

Diesel-Bec Solutions de Puissance is a Quebec-based industrial distribution company headquartered in Boisbriand that supplies diesel engines, marine engines, generators, power transmissions, and pumps across Eastern Canada. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Superior Diesel, North America's premier diesel distributor, alongside sister companies Bell Power Systems and New Way Power Solutions. Its product portfolio spans John Deere, Yanmar, Rehlko/Kohler, ZF Marine, and Funk Drivetrain components, supported by an inventory of more than 20,000 parts accessible to dealers through an online partner-access ordering system.

The business combines distribution with technical services, including custom power-solution design, repowering ('Remotorisation'), certified maintenance and repair, and 24/7 mobile emergency service for diesel and generator installations. It also operates manufacturer-accredited training programs covering diesel mechanics, fuel systems, and power generation, delivered through both virtual and on-site formats at its experience center. Customer segments are industrial and commercial operators (manufacturing, construction, agriculture, industrial facilities requiring diesel power and backup generation), marine applications (commercial and recreational propulsion and auxiliary power), and its authorized dealer network across Eastern Canada.

Revenue is generated across four streams: one-time equipment sales (new and used diesel engines, marine engines, generators, transmissions, pumps), parts distribution, professional services (maintenance, repair, emergency mobile service, custom engineering and fabrication), and professional training services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is conducted through a regional authorized dealer network, direct enterprise sales, and a bilingual (French/English) company website serving as the primary digital front door.
