Max-Atlas Equipment International Inc. of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, the largest container chassis manufacturer in Canada, announces the sale of the Company to a new group of four shareholders. The transaction, which closed on January 1, 2023, involved the transfer of all Company shares held by the founders, Tibor Varga and Andrew Morena, to the new owners.
