Nors continues Canadian expansion with acquisition of Westcon Equipment in Manitoba

Nors Construction Equipment has been appointed the exclusive Volvo CE dealer in the province of Manitoba as of January 1, 2025. The subsidiary of Portuguese-based private company Nors Group (Nors) achieved this status through the acquisition of Volvo CE-related assets of Westcon Equipment.

Westcon has sold and serviced Volvo CE equipment since 2004 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. A new Nors location in Winnipeg will offer the full Volvo CE product range, including compact, electric, general production, compaction, and rigid hauler products.

"I want to thank the employees at Westcon for their dedication over the past two decades," says Scott Young, head of region North America, Volvo CE. "Their commitment ensures that we will continue to deliver quality products and responsive service to our customers across Manitoba as this new chapter begins with Nors."

Nors strengthens position globally

Nors companies sell and service construction, infrastructure, mining, forestry and agricultural equipment, trucks, buses, and marine and industrial engines in a total of 17 countries on four continents. Nors acquired Strongco Corporation in March of 2020 for its first entry into the Canadian market. Nors continued its growth in the Canadian market through its acquisition of Great West Equipment in March 2024.
