Our humble roots began in 1924 with Comact, a leader in wood processing products from Saint-Éphrem, Quebec. Over the years, the company carved an enviable worldwide reputation as the manufacturer of cutting-edge equipment for both hardwood and softwood mills.

Founded in 1983, BID Group, based in Prince George, BC, recognized the tremendous market potential of joining forces with Comact. The two industry pioneers merged in 2013 with one unwavering goal: to leverage their legacy of operational lifecycle excellence.

Today, BID Group continues to be at the forefront of the wood processing industry, consistently driving productivity and empowering customers to achieve the very highest operational and business performance.

With multiple key locations to serve our global customer base, we provide top-quartile wood processing plants with complete, turnkey, vertically integrated and connected solutions to edge out their competitors—from engineering, project management, equipment, software, installation, start-up, and after-market parts and service.

As we look ahead, BID Group is poised to reach new heights, fuelled by our ambition and clear vision for the future. Exciting times are on the horizon as BID Group prepares ambitious plans to push the boundaries of artificial intelligence and other digital technologies to ensure our customers’ operations are future-ready.

We are also gearing up to deploy a comprehensive and progressive sustainability strategy that will set new benchmarks in the industry. The expertise and ingenuity of our teams will propel all of these earnest goals for the decades to come.
