Celebrating a Major Milestone—Andy Burleigh’s 20th Anniversary with Beckhoff Canada!

Andy Burleigh’s 20th anniversary with Beckhoff Canada!

Andy joined Beckhoff Canada in 2005 as their third-ever employee and has played a pivotal role in the company’s growth ever since. Today, he is Beckhoff Canada’s Engineering Manager and Automation Software Product Specialist, leading a national team and collaborating with Beckhoff colleagues around the world to bring cutting-edge solutions to life.

Andy’s journey with Beckhoff actually began as a customer back in 2001, when he led the switch to Beckhoff technology as a machine builder. Since then, he’s stayed driven by what he loves most: the projects. Each one brings the chance to solve challenges, learn something new, and build strong, lasting relationships with clients and colleagues.

Whether he’s rolling out new automation solutions or baking bread with a decade-old starter, Andy brings curiosity, care, and creativity to everything he does.

Congratulations, Andy—thank you for 20 incredible years!
