In Memory of André Bertrand
(Founder of COFA)
On Saturday, November 26, 2022,
André Bertrand, the founder and president of COFA, passed away…
André Bertrand was a true pioneer. He was a father and mentor to countless individuals, helping many of them achieve their goals and fulfill their dreams through his support and guidance.
He will be remembered as a respected business leader with a strong and charismatic personality, and a great sense of humor.
André Bertrand was loved by all who knew him, and he will be greatly missed. His passing leaves a void that can never be filled, but we will carry on his legacy by continuing his work within the COFA company.
His spirit and passion will continue to inspire us.
May he rest in peace.

Cofa was founded in 1996 by Mr. André Bertrand, who was already a representative of Hytorc products at that time. Seeing the need for maintenance and calibration services around hydraulic and pneumatic tools, he decided to address it. Since then, training and bolting services have been added to the company’s offerings.
