Since joining Kinectrics Inc. in 2003 as President and CEO, David Harris has successfully grown the company, both organically and through strategic acquisitions.

Today, Kinectrics is a Canadian-based, management-owned company, providing technical services to the electricity industry in Canada, USA, and internationally.

Since the management buyout in 2015, the company has seen significant growth with the acquisition of AMEC FW North American Nuclear business with about 600 staff increase in Canada, the USA and Romania. The recent addition of Gnosys Global Ltd in the UK in 2019 and ArcWear LLC in 2020 have further solidified Kinectrics footprint in R&D, innovation, testing and consulting with a leading-edge technology framework. These acquisitions have now been successfully integrated with Kinectrics, offering our customers a broader range of integrated services.
