Percy Hoff Snr.

President and CEO

Driven by my values for social justice and equality, I left my native South Africa in 1982 and immigrated to Canada, in search of a better life for my young family.

The creation of DSG POWER SYSTEMS (formerly Saskatoon Diesel Services) in 1983 gave me a chance to express my passion for diesel-powered equipment, which I developed from the age of about 13, learning about diesels in my father’s transportation business.

I am extremely proud of the fact that DSG is a multi-cultural organization that has created many well-paid jobs over the years, within a culture that values human dignity, tolerance, respect and is driven by a desire to be the very best at what we do. I can truly say that since the inception of this business, my passion for it has never waned.
