David Repinski, CEO of CRU GROUP, today announced that the Company has acquired a majority stake in Authentik, a Montreal-based loss adjusting firm, with an agreement in place to complete the purchase of the remaining shares on November 2, 2025. This share purchase transaction supports CRU GROUP’s commitment to growth and demonstrates the respect it has for the business that Authentik has built.
With a team of more than 25 professionals, Authentik will continue to operate under the same leadership and staff while maintaining its client relationships. The firm will now be supported by CRU GROUP’s broader resources and infrastructure, focusing on Quebec, New Brunswick and the Maritime provinces.
“We are so happy to welcome the Authentik Family to our CRU GROUP Family,” said Repinski. “This merging of two great companies enables both to better serve their respective clients.”
“This partnership is a natural next step for Authentik,” said Jonathan Fradet, President of Authentik. “Joining a values-aligned group lets us scale while preserving the Authentik, personalized service our clients trust.”
“Our partnership with CRU GROUP allows us to combine the best of both worlds: Authentik’s recognized local expertise and CRU GROUP’s national reach. Our commitment to our clients, our corporate culture, and our amazing team remain unchanged,” adds Suzie Godmer, Vice President of Authentik.
Authentik will retain its name and brand, transitioning to trade as “Authentik, a CRU GROUP Company,” with its leadership taking on expanded roles within CRU GROUP.
