Introduction

Good governance helps us stay accountable, transparent, and efficient. It allows us to meet our objectives while maintaining trust with all stakeholders and our customers.

About

Founded in 2000, Rebel has a rich history of excellence, innovation, and success. It is one of North America's premier hydro-excavation and industrial vacuum equipment manufacturers in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. 

Differentiated by our well-designed and easy-to-operate equipment, we use only the highest quality parts and components in building our equipment while taking a collaborative approach to building all of our partner's equipment. 

Stemming from our original oil and gas roots, our products are designed and engineered to withstand the most demanding weather conditions and terrains. These designs have been carried forward throughout the years to give our customers the confidence that their equipment can operate at the highest efficiency. Rebel is proud to support our partners in their equipment needs operating in various sectors including utilities, environmental, industrial, municipal, oilfield, and mining. 

We pride ourselves on offering an industry-leading product coupled with an industry-leading warranty program aimed at minimizing equipment downtime. Our philosophy is if your equipment is down, our equipment is down. Day in and day out, we strive to be the industry's premier manufacturer of choice.
