NorthPoint Technical Services Acquires GPR Industries

Today marks a noteworthy investment – NorthPoint Technical Services has acquired Grande Prairie-based GPR Industries as their ninth Canadian Service Centre. GPR is the largest and best equipped service center in northern Alberta. They have serviced Northwestern Alberta and Eastern British Columbia for 53 years.

GPR Industries will be a valued partner in NorthPoint’s growth, development, and path forward. NorthPoint prides themselves on doing the job right, when the customer needs it, and to the highest level of quality found in the industry. From motors to generators to pumps to turbines – if it rotates, NorthPoint can fix it.

“The combination of NorthPoint and GPR creates significant synergies and a more competitive organization positioned for greater growth,” noted Paul Crawford, NorthPoint’s CEO. “I see it as an opportunity to make the most of our combined technical know-how, from British Columbia to Newfoundland, providing a spectrum of solutions and products, with an emphasis of solving our customers most complex equipment service repair needs.”

“Northpoint brings size, credibility, technical expertise and strong financial stability,” said Eddie Sandboe, President of GPR. “I couldn’t be happier that GPR and Northpoint are joining forces. I am extremely excited for everyone at GPR as I feel it will benefit us all.”
