2008-The Establishment of TorcUP of Canada

The initial introduction of TorcUP into Canada was in 1998 when Colin Livingston was required to source a hydraulic wrench line to represent in Alberta. A simple consultation of existing bolting companies and search of the internet brought up multiple wrench companies from around the world looking for representatives; all but one were simply tool supply companies-TorcUP was different.

Against the advice of many, including bolting contractors fearing the likely demise of a newly founded company Colin took a chance on TorcUP and the rest, as they say, is history.

Taking chances is something that Colin is famous for, especially if taking a chance is to the benefit of his customer. In the fall of 2000 Colin took his biggest chance to date and founded CanTorque.

CanTorque's mission was the supply and service of the world's finest assembly systems. TorcUP was the major driver of the company for the first 7 years to the point that the TorcUP brand was able to create and maintain momentum.

In early 2008 created a separate company to capitalize on the brand we've been extremely proud to represent: TorcUP of Canada. This time, there was no risk taking, simply making the next logical step in our brand's evolution.

CanTorque will remain as TorcUP of Canada's rental, calibration, repair and warranty centre across Canada. TorcUP of Canada will focus on sales, service and distribution of TorcUP across Canada. Regardless of your particular bolting application or problem we will find a solution.

Take a look through our website, arrange a demonstration of any of our products and see why our customers have made us #1!

I look forward to being of service to you in the future.
