“Integration planning efforts are well advanced,” said Robert Ogilvie, chairman and CEO of Toromont Industries Ltd. “Our natural gas and process compression business is now combined under the Enerflex banner, we have the senior management team in place and our planning phase is essentially complete. I am pleased with the progress seen to date.”

The Enerflex trust units ceased to be listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange at the close of markets on Feb. 26. Toromont intends to wind-up Enerflex and Enerflex Holdings Limited Partnership and, as a result, each of Enerflex and Enerflex Holdings Limited Partnership will cease to be a reporting issuer.
