Les Produits Avantage Plus (LPAP) has signed a strategic partnership agreement with OneBridge Risk & Warranty Solutions, with the deal expected to close in early 2026, subject to customary finalization conditions.
LPAP said it will keep its current leadership and management structure following the transaction. Karine Lebel will remain president and chief executive officer of Avantage Plus and continue overseeing the company’s operations and strategic direction.
“This alliance is a strategic choice we initiated to accelerate LPAP’s expansion while keeping our hands firmly on the wheel,” said Lebel. “Thanks to this partnership, starting in 2026, we will benefit from major investments, national reach, and exceptional operational support (…). This collaboration will allow us to offer Canadian dealers even more competitive products and an unmatched level of service.”
The companies said the partnership is expected to support LPAP’s expansion plans and bring additional operational and financial resources to the Quebec-based warranty provider. The agreement includes an investment from OneBridge into LPAP, which the companies said will be used to support nationwide growth, develop new product lines and pursue acquisitions during 2026.
The partners said the arrangement will combine OneBridge’s national infrastructure, compliance capabilities and risk-management focus with Avantage Plus’s existing dealer relationships. They said the combined group plans to expand distribution across Canada and invest in technology, training and internal processes after closing.
“As soon as the closing occurs in early 2026, we will deploy innovative solutions and products designed to maximize dealer operations while establishing new standards for innovation, compliance, and transparency,” said Vince D’Antoni, CEO of OneBridge Risk & Warranty Solutions, in a statement.
If the deal closes as planned, dealers could see changes in product availability, support resources and compliance processes as the companies expand operations across Canada.
