COUPAL NAMED THYSSENKRUPP ELEVATOR CANADA CEO

Blaine Coupal has been named CEO of thyssenkrupp Elevator Canada. Coupal most recently served as regional vice president of the Prairie Region in Canada. He started his thyssenkrupp career 15 years ago as a district manager and has held positions of increasing responsibility during his tenure. He replaced Ryan Wilson, who served as thyssenkrupp Elevator Canada CEO from 2015 until this month. The company said it is grateful to Wilson for his significant contributions that included streamlining its operations and growing its business to an all-time high. Wilson was also instrumental in creating the high-tech Engineering Centre at 270 Finchdene Square in Scarborough, Ontario. The company calls the facility the only one of its kind in Canada. It features engineering, board repair, simulators, a customer showroom and a parts warehouse. Hundreds of service technicians and sales personnel were trained at the center in the first year, which recently ended. That number is expected to grow.
