International Equipment of Montreal: Ceased Operations in 2021
International Equipment (Montreal) went out of business in 2021. The closure was abrupt and unexplained publicly.
What's Known
- Website: Taken offline (domain expired/parked).
- Social media: Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram pages removed or inactive.
- Phone: Customer service line disconnected.
- Physical location: Vacant (former showroom/warehouse on Rue St-Jacques / Boulevard Saint-Laurent area).
What's Not Known
- Reason (bankruptcy? owner retirement? acquisition? supply chain?)
- Asset disposition (inventory, IP, customer records).
- Whether any successor entity honors warranties/parts.
If You're a Customer
- Check credit card / purchase records for warranty documentation.
- Contact manufacturer directly (if IE was a dealer for specific brands).
- Search Quebec's Registre des entreprises (NEQ) for legal status: "Radiée" = dissolved.
- For parts/service: Independent industrial equipment dealers in Montreal (e.g., Liftow, Toromont, local hydraulics shops) may support legacy lines.
Without a public notice, the 2021 shutdown remains opaque. The name "International Equipment" is generic—verify you mean the Montreal firm, not a similarly named US/other entity.
