HOW WE CAME TO BE

Existing technology wasn’t cutting it

It all started out in the early 90s with our CEO Yves Gamache working at an air separation plant. When he saw the limitations of existing gas analyzers, he felt compelled to develop something better, and the first digital trace N2 analyzer was born. He soon formed a company with André Fortier, then later André Lamontagne joined, and as operations went global, so did Frank Zhu. Through the years, the team has revolutionized the industry, improving on countless technologies as well as inventing and patenting 180 novel ideas… so far.

Yves Gamache

Chairman & Chief Innovation Officer

Yves Gamache has a long-standing passion for instrumentation, automation and analytical process control. In a career devoted to technological development and enhancement, he has become a world-renowned expert and pioneer in gas chromatography, with 166 distinct patents dealing with over 30 different topics. His key accomplishments include developing the first plasma emission detector (PED) to become a worldwide industry standard in the field of air separation, used for measuring argon purity. This technology is currently being applied to protect magnets in the large hadron collider in Switzerland.

André Lamontagne, Ing., EMBA

President

As a seasoned business leader, André Lamontagne is known for his ability to implement innovative strategies by combining his analytical skills and business acumen. With 20 years of experience in analytics and world-renowned expertise in gas chromatography, he is the author of four patents in the field of gas analysis, and four more in the healthcare sector. In 2014, he was one of only 100 people admitted to the Harvard Business School EMBA, out of 800 applicants. He co-founded Spira Innovation after heading the R&D operations at Contrôle Analytique and Servomex.
