Ampjack Industries Ltd. Establishes Ampjack Europe Limited, Expanding Transmission Line Expertise Across Europe
Formation of Ireland-based subsidiary follows successful first tower raise in Spain and growing demand for energized transmission line solutions throughout the European market
WINNIPEG, MB, May. 19, 2026– Ampjack Industries Ltd. (“Ampjack”) today announced the formation of Ampjack Europe Limited, a new Company headquartered in Cork, Ireland, marking a strategic expansion of the company’s transmission line upgrade and maintenance capabilities into the European market. The move establishes a local presence in Europe to serve utilities and transmission operators across the continent with Ampjack’s proven energized tower raising, structure modification, and grid hardening solutions.
The formation of Ampjack Europe Limited follows the company’s successful completion of its first hydraulic tower raise in Spain earlier this year, where Ampjack’s proprietary AMPJACK® system was deployed alongside a local Spanish crew to raise an energized transmission structure with no outage required. That project demonstrated that the company’s engineered methodology and portable equipment can be safely and effectively executed by local workforces outside of North America.
“This is a natural next step for Ampjack,” said Luke Chaput, President of Ampjack Industries Ltd. “Our recent project in Spain proved that our technology and processes translate internationally. Establishing Ampjack Europe Limited gives us a permanent base to support European utilities facing the same infrastructure challenges we’ve been solving in Canada and the United States for years: aging towers, clearance violations, and the need to upgrade capacity without the cost and delay of building new lines.”
Nathan Stahl, Vice President of Engineering at Ampjack, added, “What makes our expansion viable is that the AMPJACK® system was designed from the ground up to be modular and transportable. The equipment ships in standard job boxes and can be heli-lifted to remote sites. Our engineering methodology is standardized and repeatable, which means we can train and oversee local crews to deliver the same outcomes we achieve in North America. Spain was proof of that, and we are building our European operations to maintain that consistency at scale.”
Mike Haight, Director of Business Development at Ampjack, said, “The response from European utilities and transmission operators has been encouraging. Grid operators across Europe are confronting the same pressures their North American counterparts face: growing demand for transmission capacity, aging infrastructure that needs repair or upgrading, and regulatory environments that favour solutions using existing rights-of-way over new construction. Ampjack Europe Limited positions us to pursue active project opportunities on the ground with a local entity and local presence.”
The establishment of Ampjack Europe Limited expands Ampjack’s operational footprint to three corporate entities across three continents:
- Ampjack Industries Ltd. (Canada) – headquartered in Centreport, Manitoba, with an office in Brossard, Québec
- Ampjack America Ltd. (United States) – headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada
- Ampjack Europe Limited (Ireland) – headquartered in Cork, Co. Cork
