Expedibox changes ownership and names new CEO

Quebec-based smart locker company Expedibox has been acquired by Perfix Inc. owner Marc Tardif as it pushes into a new growth phase. The deal keeps both co-founders in key roles and adds a new CEO to support national and international expansion.

Why it matters: - Expedibox is using a change in ownership and leadership to accelerate growth in Canada and beyond. - The company says the move strengthens its position in the smart locker market, where demand for parcel management infrastructure continues to expand.

What happened: - Expedibox, founded in Quebec in 2017, was acquired by Marc Tardif, owner of Perfix Inc. - Tardif is the president of Perfix, an international manufacturer of lockers and metal storage furniture. - Expedibox said the transaction supports a new phase of national expansion. - David-Alexandre Adolphe is the new chief executive officer.

The details: - Expedibox says it has nearly 1,000 installations from Vancouver to Halifax. - The company describes itself as one of the largest smart locker companies in Canada. - The acquisition is framed as a strategy built around synergy and expansion. - Expedibox said the partnership brings together two companies that have shared development ambitions for several years. - Francis Campbell and Alexandre Vignola Côté remain actively involved with Expedibox. - Campbell will continue as chief product officer and focus on product, technology and innovation. - Côté will continue leading business development and client and partner relationships. - Campbell said the new structure is intended to help Expedibox push further on product and innovation. - Expedibox said Adolphe brings several years of experience in customer experience, service markets and technological innovation. - The company says Adolphe will help the organization, its teams and partners meet changing customer expectations. - Expedibox says its mission remains the same: simplifying parcel management, delivery, transfer and pickup through smart, connected, secure lockers made in Canada. - A social media link included in the release points to Expedibox on LinkedIn.

Between the lines: - The acquisition appears designed to pair manufacturing capability with an installed smart-locker network. - Keeping both co-founders in operating roles suggests the company wants continuity in product and business development during the transition. - Naming a new CEO while retaining the founders in senior positions signals a shift toward scaling rather than a full reset.

What's next: - Expedibox plans to continue and accelerate its national growth. - The company also said the new structure is intended to support international expansion. - The partnership with Perfix is expected to help Expedibox develop solutions that can compete with major North American players. - The company’s next phase will likely center on product development, market expansion and broader adoption of smart locker infrastructure.
