Established in 1983, the family-owned company also has locations in Guelph, Ontario and Saint-Laurent, Quebec. It is owned and operated by brothers Peter, Rob and Adam Tedesco.

“Electrowind has been waiting for the right opportunity to expand our reach and the acquisition of CBS Electric Insulation Materials provides that opportunity to not only expand with a new location, but also add a team that is knowledgeable about the products and market they serve with over 40 years of experience in the industry,” commented Adam Tedesco, manager of special projects and marketing.
