Annexair Welcomes Vincent Lemieux as Co-President for Strategic Growth

Vincent Lemieux Takes on Co-President Role at Annexair

In an exciting development for the family-owned business Annexair, founder and current President Francois Lemieux has appointed his son, Vincent Lemieux, as Co-President. This strategic move, announced on February 12, 2026, is part of Annexair’s comprehensive succession plan aimed at ensuring the continuity and sustained growth of the company so successfully developed over the years.

Vincent’s appointment is effective immediately. He will take charge of company-wide management, alignment of organizational strategies, team engagement, and maintaining key relationships with important stakeholders. This shift not only highlights the company's commitment to growth but also reinforces its family-centered values.

Francois Lemieux will continue in his leadership role, but with a renewed focus on innovation initiatives, product design, and industrial engineering—areas he is passionately devoted to. As he approaches his 64th year, this transition allows him to slowly step back from daily operations, granting him more time to pursue activities he enjoys while remaining actively involved in strategic decisions for Annexair.

Vincent Lemieux comes to this new role with a strong educational background in Business Administration from UQAM (ESG) and a certification in Sustainable Development. He also holds a Mini-MBA from McGill University and has completed training in Project Management, LEAN Green Belt, and Industry 4.0 from UQTR. Drawing on over seven years of diverse experience at Annexair—spanning positions in Sales, Marketing, Human Resources, and After-Sales Service—he has developed an in-depth understanding of the organization and its market dynamics.

The transition from Francois to Vincent is poised to inject new energy into the leadership team. Vincent will work in close collaboration with Executive Vice President Alain Veillette. Together, they aim to galvanize the entire team, further inspiring excellence as they chart the course for Annexair's ongoing success.

As the company continues to evolve, the commitment to upholding its high standards of quality and innovation remains paramount. The leadership duo of Vincent and Francois Lemieux promises a fresh perspective while holding true to the company’s legacy, ensuring that Annexair is well-positioned for future challenges and opportunities.

This familial leadership structure underscores not just a business strategy but a deep-rooted commitment to the values that have propelled Annexair’s growth since its inception. Those familiar with the company can look forward to witnessing how this legacy will shape its future endeavors in the industry.

As this new chapter unfolds, customers and partners alike can remain assured of Annexair’s dedication to providing superior service and innovative solutions, all while further reinforcing the bonds that tie them to their community. The Lemieux family's story is one of perseverance, vision, and a commitment to excellence, and with Vincent stepping into the Co-President role, Annexair is geared up for even greater achievements in the years to come.
