JM Test Systems Expands to Canada by Acquiring BHD Instrumentation
JM Test Systems, a top provider of test and measurement equipment and calibration services, has announced its acquisition of BHD Instrumentation, Canada’s leading provider of industrial products and calibration solutions. This partnership with BHD’s CEO, Adam Hesse, will help JM Test expand its presence and offerings across Canada, while continuing to deliver high-quality products and calibration services.Both companies are family-founded businesses with rich histories, bringing a combined 75 years of excellence and commitment to customer service.
Founded in 1990, BHD Instrumentation set out to transform the way instrumentation was bought and sold in Canada. Over the years, the company has grown to include three regional office locations, serving customers across the country. The acquisition of BHD by JM Test Systems is poised to further strengthen the two companies’ shared commitment to quality, reliability, and customer-focused service.
“We’re thrilled to partner with JM Test on the next phase of growth for BHD,” said Adam Hesse, CEO of BHD. “After spending time with the JM Test team, it was clear that our shared culture, customer focus, and strategic outlook uniquely position us for long-term success. Joining JM Test allows us to enhance our capabilities while maintaining our strong customer relationships and commitment to service. This is an exciting step forward for our team and the industries we serve. I look forward to working together to accelerate our expansion while continuing to deliver best-in-class services.”
The acquisition comes at a time of growth for both companies. JM Test Systems was acquired by Kanbrick in 2023 to help support its long-term growth strategy, which focuses on expanding to new locations and acquiring businesses that share a dedication to quality, accuracy, and reliability. With BHD’s industry expertise and strong customer base, the acquisition presents a unique opportunity for the combined companies to expand their reach and enhance their service offerings.
“At JM Test, we invest for the long term—always putting customers, employees, and quality at the center of what we do. BHD shares those values and has a strong reputation for service and growth,” said Andrew Treanor, CEO of JM Test Systems. “We are excited to welcome BHD to the JM Test team as we work together to make test equipment easy for even more customers across North America.”
The integration of BHD into the JM Test family aligns with the company’s vision of building a lasting, customer-centric organization that emphasizes operational excellence and long-term partnerships. Customers across North America will benefit from the combined strength of both organizations, gaining greater access to high-quality test and measurement solutions while continuing to receive unparalleled service and support.
The acquisition also positions JM Test to provide an even broader range of services to meet the growing needs of industries across the continent. With BHD’s established presence in Canada, the acquisition will facilitate easier access to essential test and measurement solutions, supporting industries that rely on accuracy, reliability, and efficient equipment for their operations.
