Nick Kaplanis is the owner of Northwest All-Terrain Vehicles, and distributor for Canada XBH. The company was established in 1986 and has over 33 years of business experience in Northwestern Ontario. The expertise in all terrain travel was acquired hands-on and the unique blend of mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and most importantly, amphibious challenges led to the designing of a machine that would do it all.
In 2017, Nick discovered that there was a well established manufacturer in China which was producing the XBH, an amphibious all-terrain vehicle made specifically for extreme terrain and climates. There was no representation for XBH in Canada. Nick was invited by company president, Mr. WenLiang Jia, to visit their plant. The engineers were extremely co-operative and I was impressed with their attention to even the smallest details.
