10 years ago Marc Poirier decided that he was going
to put aside his biology degree and focus on a
passion for business. Having an ancestry that had
spent their lives harvesting timber gave him an idea
and a head start into the market.

Today, Timberparts provides parts and components
to the forestry and mining sectors all over the world.
Marc is also the president of Globus Properties.
Globus Properties owns and maintains commercial
properties all over eastern Canada. In 2010 Marc
was selected as one of the top 15 entrepreneurial
leaders in Atlantic Canada.
