Tisdale, Sask. will be the home of a U.S. equipment auction company’s first location in Canada and tenth overall.
On Oct. 18, Steffes Group out of Fargo, N.D., announced the purchase of Bruce Schapansky Auctioneers, which will undergo a rebrand to become Steffes.
Reps from Steffes visited Tisdale in May. And in August, Bruce Schapansky and his family went to Fargo to meet the Steffes staff.
Those friendly visits helped seal the deal for the acquisition, Schapansky said.
“It was like they were from Pleasantdale or Yellow Creek,” he told CJVR. “We’re looking forward to this change.”
