PEMAC Turns 25

In 1989 a few engineers and maintenance professionals put their heads together to address a mutual concern: maintenance practitioners provide a vital service and make significant decisions that have an impact on the sustainability of their organizations, yet there was no association in Canada catering to the needs of workers in the maintenance profession and no recognition of the essential role they play in the success of asset-intensive organizations, such as public infrastructure and private manufacturing and processing plants. They discussed and brainstormed ideas about creating a Canadian association to represent maintenance professionals and support maintenance professionalism. From there PEMAC was born.

Twenty-five year's later PEMAC has grown into an organization that continues to search for ways to achieve its vision and mission.
