Compact and comfortable, the Case IH Vestrum CVXDrive is a popular choice amongst farmers. With the 110 and 120 models added to the existing range, they are perfect for midsized mixed farms; but what sets these newly redesigned models apart from previous versions?

Charles Phaneuf and Hugues Théroux
The dynamic duo of the third generation of owners. Grandsons of Adrien Phaneuf. Worthy representatives of their parents Yvon, Rhéal and Andrée.
We cannot present one without the other. Impossible.
It is quite a feat that Charles and Hugues achieve day after day as the third generation of owners of a growing company. Only a few companies survive the passage from the first generation to the second one. Imagine for the third.
They have known each other since they were kids. In their early teens, they washed trucks and cars and took them for a walk to dry them… Each one did a technique in administration and then worked elsewhere for a while. Then it was time to come back and work their way up from the parts department in different branches, sales, branch management. They crossed paths a few times.
In 1999, Charles and Hugues joined the general administration of the company and arriving at the end of 2001 took over completely from Yvon and Andrée.

Rhéal Théroux!
Second generation of owners, son-in-law of the founder, husband of Andrée with whom he will have formed a dynamic duo in the accounting of the company and father of the third generation.
He proudly joined the company and the Phaneuf family on the arm of the third of Adrien Phaneuf’s daughters, Andrée. In 1969, he created with his brother-in-law Yvon Phaneuf and his wife Andrée the leading team of the company when Adrien died and that will be the business model of the new generation of owners.
