Effective April 2, 2025, Matcon Group and Knappett Industries officially merged, combining over five decades of industry expertise to form a more diversified and strategically positioned construction entity serving Western Canada. The merger brings together two well-established companies with shared values, complementary strengths, and a mutual commitment to quality, safety, and client satisfaction. Both Matcon and Knappett will continue operating under their existing names, preserving long-standing relationships while gaining increased capacity, broader expertise, and enhanced resources to meet diverse project demands.

Matcon specializes in excavation, shoring, demolition, deep foundations, environmental contracting, and infrastructure construction across residential, commercial, and industrial markets. Knappett, an employee-owned general contractor founded in 1983, is known for its work in civil infrastructure, including road building, paving, utility installation, site development, and pipeline construction. With offices across Vancouver Island and Northern British Columbia, Knappett has successfully completed hundreds of projects throughout the province.

The merger expands the combined company’s geographic reach across the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, and Northern B.C., while continuing service in all established regions and municipalities. Clients will benefit from working with the same trusted teams, now backed by greater operational scale and technical capability. Stikeman Elliott LLP acted as legal advisor to Matcon Group, while Borden Ladner Gervais LLP advised Knappett Group of Companies. The transaction value was not disclosed.
