Our Story
Our Story - Beyond Current
Established in 2009 with the goal of pursuing and developing eddy current array (ECA) technology to its full potential for the benefit of the nuclear industry, Eddyfi Technologies has since become the reference in advanced NDT solutions. From this initial beachhead market, Eddyfi’s systematic and disciplined approach allowed successfully serving other key industries needing advanced NDT systems for the inspection of critical assets and components. Until 2016, Eddyfi’s footprint grew exclusively thanks to new applications, product development, and geographical expansion. The company then started a series of strategic acquisitions to broaden its product portfolio with synergistic modalities and complementary capabilities: Silverwing, TSC, Teletest, M2M, Inuktun, and Zetec all brought new NDT methods and technologies, along with an increased presence worldwide with offices in key regions to better serve customers. Simultaneously, realizing the ever-growing importance of software for industrial applications, the company increased its focus on advanced algorithms, assisted analysis capabilities (including the use of machine learning/ artificial intelligence or AI), and was first to engineer an offering based on continuously improving software for the NDT equipment market. Since its inception in 2009, Eddyfi has always been keen on doing things differently, and remains motivated – more than ever – to always be Beyond Current.

Social Responsibility
Eddyfi Technologies' ambition is to think differently and build more than just a business. We strive to positively impact our clients, competitors, employees and the communities where we operate. Simply said, we believe that we have a social responsibility and we are taking this very seriously.
Supported Causes
At Eddyfi Technologies, we believe in contributing to building strong and healthy communities where we operate. We endeavour to support causes dedicated to the next generation of scientists, those that place perseverance (academic, sports, personal development) at the core of their actions, as well as those that aim at fighting poverty and empowering our youth. This includes a significant support to United Way in Canada.
Community Week
Each year, Eddyfi hosts its annual Community Week. The objective is simple: through team effort, employees spend a workday doing something of value to our communities, whether it be through helping those in needs, working to prepare a communal park for the Summer, etc. This is an opportunity to show our passion, our team-spirit and our commitment.
Powerful Roots
Eddyfi’s co-founder and CEO Martin Theriault was born and raised in the Quebec neighbourhood of Limoilou and lower downtown. This is a very interesting and diverse community which unfortunately faces several social challenges. As a special way to giving back, a large portion of M. Theriault’s personal philanthropic involvement and financial contribution is focused on non-profit that impact the Limoilou community. This includes the Patro Roc-Amadour as well as the Centre Jacques-Cartier, two organizations near and dear to Martin's heart.
