About Us
Builders First
Since 1997, one team in Sherbrooke has taken sorting systems from blank page to running plant — pre-design, engineering, steel fabrication, controls, and installation, all under the same roof.
Sherbrooke O.E.M. Ltd was founded in 1997 in Sherbrooke, Quebec by Alain Brasseur and Bryan Sinram. The company designs and manufactures heavy-duty handling, screening, and separation equipment and complete turnkey sorting facilities from a 60,000 sq ft plant with approximately 100 employees and overhead cranes up to 50 tons. With more than 200 installations across Canada and the United States, Sherbrooke OEM serves the C&D, MSW, single-stream, scrap metal, and aggregates markets, with roots in wood, pulp & paper, and mines & quarries.

Fabrication plant with overhead cranes up to 50 tons, minutes from highways 10 and 55.
100 employees
Engineers, fabricators, electricians, and installers — one accountable team.
200+ installations
Across Canada and the United States, from single machines to complete plants.
Everything In-House
Most suppliers do some of this. The difference is doing all of it, with the same people, accountable for the result:
- Pre-design. Material profile, throughput, building constraints, and integration points — defined before any steel is drawn.
- Engineering. Mechanical, structural, and electrical design per project — custom, not catalog-only.
- Fabrication. Mild steel to CHT 400 wear plate and stainless, matched to the duty.
- Controls. Motor control, VFDs, safety circuits, and HMIs designed and built internally.
- Installation & commissioning. Our crews erect, wire, and tune the system to performance.
- Parts & service. Support for the machine's working life.
Inside the Shop




Eagle Vizion — Optical Sorting
Our sister company Eagle Vizion develops NIR and AI-based optical sorting technology — plastics by polymer (PE, PET, HDPE, black plastics, flakes), paper, cardboard, wood, organics, and aggregates. Because the sorter and the system come from the same group, optical sorting is engineered into the line, not bolted onto it.
