J. B. Poindexter & Co., Inc. (JBPCO), a privately held North American manufacturing leader serving the commercial vehicle and specialty manufacturing industries, today announced the acquisition of Demers Braun Crestline Medix (DBCM).
Headquartered in Beloeil, Quebec (Canada), DBCM is one of North America’s largest ambulance manufacturers with a strong presence across the U.S. and Canadian markets. Known for advanced innovation and paramedic-driven design, DBCM has delivered more than 70,000 units to over 40 countries and employs more than 1,500 team members across its operations.
“Our acquisition of DBCM aligns with JBPCO’s long-term vision—building a platform of industry-leading companies with a shared commitment to quality, innovation, and customer service,” said John Poindexter, CEO and Chairman of JBPCO. “As JBPCO celebrates its 40th anniversary, and each of the DBCM brands celebrates decades of dedication in the emergency vehicle industry, we are proud to bring together more than 500 years of combined manufacturing excellence across our portfolio of companies. DBCM has built a solid foundation, and we look forward to investing in its future, supporting the team, enhancing the products, and unlocking new opportunities for growth.”
Demers recently launched its 11th-generation ambulance platform and continues to set the bar in safety, design, and performance with paramedic-centric features like the FX Care Module. As part of JBPCO, the Company will continue to operate with brand autonomy while benefiting from expanded resources, shared capabilities, and a culture that values team member contributions.
“Joining JBPCO is a major milestone for our organization and our team,” said Alain Brunelle, CEO of Demers Braun Crestline Medix. “We are united by a mission to improve lives, one relationship and one vehicle at a time—and this partnership ensures we can continue doing just that, with even greater scale and support.”
JBPCO’s total revenue will reach $3 billion with this acquisition, reinforcing its role as a cornerstone in the commercial and specialty vehicle manufacturing space—from last-mile delivery and work trucks to emergency response vehicles.
