Steffes Group Enters Canada Market with Auction Firm Buyout
Steffes Group Canada ULC has officially acquired Bruce Schapansky Auctioneers Inc., a respected auction firm based in Tisdale, Saskatchewan.
Steffes, founded in 1960 in North Dakota, is a leader in the U.S. auction scene, and this move allows the company to expand its presence into Canada. With the addition of the Tisdale location, Steffes now operates out of ten locations.
Bruce Schapansky, the founder of the Saskatchewan-based auction house, expressed his excitement about joining forces with Steffes. “Joining Steffes Auctioneers provides us with tools and resources to better serve our customers,” Schapansky said. After meeting with Steffes' team, he was impressed by the shared values between the two companies. “It is not every day that you find two companies so alike in so many ways,” he remarked. “Knowing that Steffes started as a family business and continues to grow along with their family means a lot to us.” Schapansky assured his customers that he remains committed to the business, stating, “I’m not going anywhere! I’ll be focusing on sales and staying connected with our customers.”
