NEWLEAF Equipment began in 2020, founded by Dave Coburn out of his garage with just a tool bag and a strong commitment to serve. From day one, “service first” has been our guiding principle. Dave quickly recognized a gap in the industries—reliable, customer-focused service, and set out to fill it. That dedication naturally grew into sales, driven by trust and results.
We lead with honesty, humility, and respect. We don’t shy away from hard work — we embrace it, knowing that growth and learning happen when things get tough. We do what is required to get the job done.
We take pride in doing things right — every detail, every time. We are guided by quality, not cost-cutting. It’s not about how much; it’s about how well.
We build relationships that last, grounded in trust and collaboration. Every decision we make reflects our commitment to our partners' best interests.
We challenge the status quo. With curiosity and creativity, we constantly seek better solutions and raise the standard across every industry we serve.
We cultivate a safe, supportive, and empowering environment. We encourage entrepreneurial thinking and invest in people so they can thrive both personally and professionally.
We communicate with clarity and transparency. Whether with our team or our partners, we keep things simple, open, and aligned to ensure success every step of the way.
With nearly 20 years in the poultry industry, Dave has built his expertise from the
ground up—working in roles ranging from Installer and Technician to Sales
Representative, Canadian Poultry Vaccination Specialist and Broiler Farm Manager. That hands-on experience led him to launch Newleaf Equipment Solutions, driven by a passion for service and a commitment to doing things better. When he is not working Dave likes to spend time on the water with his family and friends. He also enjoys restoring his 53 Chevy, staying active and eating good food!
Kim is often the first friendly face you’ll meet at Newleaf. She manages bookkeeping and invoicing, keeps everything organized behind the scenes, and is always ready to lend a hand wherever it’s needed. Outside of work, Kim has the most fun spending time with her family and friends – whether cheering on her kids from the sidelines, battling it out in board games on a Saturday night, or making lasting memories at her favorite spot, the family cabin.
Since joining Newleaf in June 2020, Sam has taken on a range of responsibilities—from managing logistics to coordinating service/installation jobs, while also managing everything in between. With nine years of industry experience, she plays a vital role in keeping operations on track and helping drive Newleaf’s continued growth.
Outside of work, Sam enjoys riding her horse, reading, traveling/exploring with her
husband and their Bernedoodle, Oats. She also enjoys telling good jokes!
Kyle joined Newleaf in 2024 and has become a great addition to our team. He always has the right attitude regardless of work cut out for him. Outside of work Kyle likes working on vehicles with friends, there is always some sort of project on the go and playing a game of frisbee.
Raman is most recent to our team and has been an excellent addition especially on the installation side. When not at Newleaf, Raman is focused on furthering his education in IT technologies and maintaining close ties to his agricultural family roots, building on his prior experience as an industrial production operator.
Jeff brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to our poultry division; he has been farming for 20+ years across many agricultural industries. In his spare time he likes to spend time with his friends and family as well as time at his cabin in the interior.
Growing up on a farm and then working in the poultry and feed mill industry since 2010 has given him a strong mechanical foundation that allows him to confidently diagnose and repair virtually any piece of equipment placed in front of him. In his spare time he can be found fishing or spending time with his family.
Over the past six years, Newleaf has grown steadily, reaching meaningful milestones along the way. Below is a snapshot highlighting some of the key moments from our journey so far. We’re proud of how far we’ve come and look forward to sharing many more achievements with you. We will continue to keep you updated as we move ahead.
