Kore Compression and Machine Corp. opened in May of 2016 after a large corporation, that had been in Grande Prairie since 1995, pulled its operations out of Canada. Three employees of the large corporation saw the potential of the industry in the area and bought the equipment, and went on to employ many of the same employees that had been in the industry for a number of years.

Launching a new business during an economic downturn can be a big risk. “Everyone thought we were silly to start this now,” partner Stan Koenig admits, but with business coming in before the doors were even open, they knew they had made the right decision. Bringing back core employees was also important. “Our employees are very much a part of what we do,” says partner Kelly Zaitsoff. “The name “Kore” came from the core values that we hold. Employees, customers and integrity are the central most important aspect in our business.
