In addition to being a distributor of new products from
Sandvik, Mc Drill Technology, International Construction
Equipment, Inc., Geax and other international manufacturers,
Selix sells and rents used drilling machines acquired

Service and safety
“Safety is very important at Selix,” said Roussel. “All of our
technicians have taken several safety courses, and they maintain
and upgrade their training whenever changes make that
necessary.”
Ingrained to be safety-conscious, the technicians both
protect themselves on the job and share safe processes with
clients as they service and repair their equipment.
Roussel attributes at least part of the company’s success
to its focus on service.
“We have grown because of our service reputation,” he
said. With clients in such places as northern Manitoba, Fort
Frances, Ont. and Atlantic Canada, Selix has made a point
of responding quickly to needs, wherever they may be felt.
Clients know they can count on that service, says Roussel.
What’s to come?
2015 was a big year for Selix. Not only did the company move
to its new, much larger quarters, but it also became the new
distributor for two European product lines. Early in 2016, it
added yet another line to its offerings.
COMPANY PROFILE
Arrival of Canada’s first MDT 40SK at the Selix facility
Roussel foresees the company focusing in coming months
on building the market for Geax, SPD and Lintec products,
working to make them as popular in Canada as they are in
the European construction industry.
Given the pace of expansion that Selix has experienced since
its start, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the company continue
to grow in the future, with new lines, new clients or both.
