“Joining Steffes Auctioneers provides us with tools and resources to better serve our customers,” said Bruce Schapansky. “After meeting the folks at Steffes and talking with their staff and customers, it became apparent that ‘The Steffes Way’ is built on the very same foundations that our business is built on. It is not every day that you find two companies so alike in so many ways. Knowing that Steffes started as a family business and continues to grow along with their family means a lot to us. Bruce Schapansky Auctioneers, and Steffes alike, value the foundation that our companies are built on, and we are so excited to partner with such a respected leader in the auction industry, while still being able to retain our focus on delivering friendly, professional, personalized service. And, not to worry! I’m not going anywhere! I’ll be focusing on sales and staying connected with our customers,” Schapansky added. 

Steffes has deep roots in agriculture and has been a leading farm auction company in the Midwest U.S. for six decades. The company now offers a full range of auction services, including live on-site and online auctions for farm equipment, construction equipment, transportation equipment, and real estate.  

Bruce Schapansky and his staff will continue their operations in Tisdale while undergoing a rebrand to become Steffes. 

“Bruce has built a strong reputation in Saskatchewan with his seller-focused approach to auctioneering,” said Scott Steffes, President of Steffes Group. “He values customer relationships as much as we do, which makes this such a great pairing. For his existing customers, the transition will be seamless, and we look forward to building upon what he started by delivering our comprehensive platform of auction experiences.”
