As General Manager of BID Canada, Taher Saify brings more than 20 years of manufacturing experience and a passion for continuous improvement to the team. Having joined BID just over six months ago, he has quickly become an important part of the company’s leadership as we continue to support customers across the mining, bulk material handling, and industrial sectors.

Originally from Indore, a city in central India, Taher has called Canada home for the past 25 years. Along the way, he has built an impressive career spanning a wide range of industries including lead acid batteries, heavy farming equipment, plastic molding and extrusion, baking, sawmill equipment, and mining conveyor systems.

Taher brings a unique combination of technical knowledge and business leadership to his role. He is a Mechanical Engineer by training, holds a Master’s in Industrial Engineering from Dalhousie University, and completed his Executive MBA at Saint Mary’s University. His experience in solving problems, improving processes, and helping teams grow has made an immediate impact at BID.

Outside of work, family is at the center of life for Taher. He and his wife, who operates a hairstyling business, are raising their 13-year-old daughter, a self-proclaimed future Caitlin Clark, who keeps them both entertained and busy with her love of basketball. When he isn’t in the office or visiting customers, you’ll most likely find Taher on the golf course or enjoying one of his more unexpected hobbies: mathematics.

We’re excited to have Taher helping lead BID into its next chapter and look forward to what the future holds!
