BID Group Acquires YGE Inc.
BID Group, located in Mirabel, Quebec, is delighted to announce the
successful completion of its acquisition of YGE Inc. This strategic transaction
further enhances BID’s product offering within the wood processing saw
and tooling sector, while also extending BID’s industry-leading product and
service offerings across the entire operational life cycle.
YGE Inc. stands as an innovative supplier and service provider specializing
in top-tier saw guides, grinders and critical consumables catering to the
wood processing industry. Located in St. Raymond, Quebec, YGE is a trusted
partner, having forged strong bonds with BID’S product lines, projects and
manufacturing facilities across North America.
“We are excited to reach this agreement with our longtime partners YGE
and the Guillemette family. This marks another important step in meeting our
valued customer demand for modern, high quality and innovative saw and
tooling technology solutions. This partnership builds on previous investments
in Smith Sawmill Services, BLADE cutting tools, and the recently announced
acquisition of Industrial Cutting Solutions in Alabama,” said Simon Potvin,
BID’s President, Wood Processing.
“I am pleased to be able to transition our business with the BID Group,”
said Yvon Guillemette, Owner of YGE. “I would like to thank our team for
their dedication and hard work to build YGE over the years. I am confident
this partnership will provide our employees, suppliers and customers with
enhanced opportunities and benefits.”
The transaction formally closed on Oct 1, 2023.

DMSi Announces Log and Lumber Division
DMSi has been at the forefront of innovation for inventory and order management
solutions for the building materials industry. With a recent growth
initiative, the company is now poised to provide the same level of innovative
solutions to the hardwood industry. DMSi’s Log and Lumber Division was
officially created early on in 2023, as a way for the company to specifically focus
on the inventory, production and order management needs of the hardwood
industry.
“Hardwood companies need software that can address their needs that are
unique to this industry,” says Henry German, DMSi co-owner and President
of the DMSi Log and Lumber Division. “The Log and Lumber Division’s sole
focus is on software solutions equipped to handle these needs effectively.”
While just recently announced, the development of DMSi’s Log and Lumber
Division was a strategic initiative nearly four years in the making. Beginning
with the rollout of TallyExpress in 2018, and more recently, the acquisitions of
eLIMBS and Simply Computing International and partnership with Hardwood
Timber and Transportation Services; DMSi has been focused on building a
team to provide a fully-integrated, end-to-end suite of inventory, production
and order management solutions to the hardwood industry.
For each product DMSi has acquired, the first step has been to build out
the foundations of a team that can handle their growth plans, then begin the
modernization efforts to position DMSi to be the last software provider their
customers will ever need.
DMSi’s eLIMBS is currently sold into Canada and they license TallyExpress
out of their sister company in Europe.
Headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska for nearly five decades, DMSi has
remained an independent, family-owned business, guided by its original core
values in a relentless pursuit of excellent customer service.
