By Paul Adair
In January, Ray Kemppainen was promoted to vice president at
ECA Canada Company, a leading distributor of specialty
foundation equipment in Eastern Canada. He had previously
served as a branch manager since September 2009.
“Ray has been an asset to ECA Canada and this promotion will
position him to provide even greater value to our Canadian
customers,” said Jeff Harmston, ECA’s vice president, sales
and marketing at the time. “We have the utmost confidence
that he will strengthen and expand our foundation in this
critical market.”
This move to vice president is just the latest step in a
long journey for Kemppainen to this point. Born and raised
in Toronto, Ont., Kemppainen started in this industry fresh
out of Centennial College in 1990 as an apprentice mechanic.
He cut his teeth at Toronto-based, Special Construction
Machines (SCM), which was the first dealer for Delmag diesel
