January 15, 2025 – BPA has acquired Toronto-based HCC Engineering Ltd. (HCC), a full-service electrical and telecommunications engineering firm.

“BPA is pleased to welcome HCC’s talented electrical engineering team. This collaboration presents a unique opportunity to further solidify our presence in Toronto, building on our acquisition of mechanical engineering firm TMP in 2023. By joining forces with HCC, our clients will benefit from access to a significantly expanded pool of resources and a diverse range of expertise and services, supported by a combined team of over 230 employees in Ontario,” said Patrick St-Onge, Executive Vice-President at BPA. “This partnership also enhances our capacity in the rapidly growing data centre market,” he added.

“Partnering with HCC and expanding our electrical engineering capabilities in Toronto aligns seamlessly with our growth strategy across Canada, further cementing our position as a national leader in building engineering,” said Dominic Latour, CEO of BPA. “As a leader in building decarbonization, the addition of HCC to our team enhances our ability to support clients in driving the energy transition forward,” he added.

BPA and HCC share core values of integrity, quality, and excellence, and both companies are driven by a client-centric approach to projects.

“We are excited by this new chapter. By formalizing our long-standing collaboration with BPA, we will expand the range of services we can offer our clients, we can share our know-how with a broader market and continue our work as part of a larger organization dedicated to decarbonization and building a sustainable future,” said Howard Cohen, President of HCC. “At the same time, our employees will enjoy enhanced career development opportunities.”

As part of the acquisition, Howard Cohen becomes a BPA shareholder. All HCC employees will remain employed with BPA. This marks BPA’s fifth acquisition since CDPQ’s initial investment in 2022 to support its pan-Canadian strategic development plan and accelerate its growth.
