About Us
Myrdal Orthopedic Technologies Inc. (MOT Inc.) was founded in the year 2000 by Patrick J. Myrdal.
MOT started out with a few basic products for distribution, but our main focus was on Custom Fabrication. As the years went by we have solidified our reputation of providing quality products and services to the Canadian O&P Profession. We are (and always have been) 100% Canadian owned and operated!
Jarrod Eccles, R.T.O.(c) Owner, Managing Partner
Jarrod has been with MOT since 2001. Jarrod has grown our network internationally and is always looking for new opportunities to keep MOT growing and up to speed on emerging technologies. Jarrod has been involved with both our regional as well as our national associations including pilot technical exams, nominations committee and conference committee.
“My current focus is to improve on all aspects of our operations. We have been routinely adding new technologies and staff to better enable us to serve your needs and remain competitive"
Alex Brett, R.T.P.O.(c) Owner, Managing Partner
Alex has been with MOT Inc. since 2004. Alex’s focus is to keep MOT running smoothly while embracing the latest technologies. Alex strives to keep our processes up to date and offer our customers the best in materials, custom fabrication services, and product support. Alex is constantly looking for new ways to improve operations, and over the past decade has helped implement many new systems including 3D Scanning, CAD Design, Mold carving services, as well as 3D printing at MOT.

“My goal is to assure that our customers always have the latest and greatest materials and technologies at their disposal. With the rapidly changing landscape of our profession, it is not always easy to stay current. My hope is that MOT Inc. can bridge this gap for our customers by providing resources that are affordable and easy to use”
Garry Long Distribution Manager
Garry joined MOT in early 2010, starting out in our shipping/receiving department. He has been responsible for inventory management: including tracking inventory trends, purchasing materials & supplies. As our team has expanded, Garry’s extensive knowledge is put to use leading our distribution team. He works hard to ensure your orders are processed quickly and accurately through our Order Desk. Garry is always happy to assist you with all your purchase order requirements.
In his time off Garry is a music lover and plays drums in a local band that routinely plays throughout Winnipeg and surrounding area. He also enjoys the outdoors - hiking, mountain biking and living life.
As of 2026, Patrick has officially retired and now spends most of his time up on Lake Winnipeg. He will always remain involved in the business and be a lasting inspiration to the MOT Team. From all of us at MOT - a huge thanks goes out to Pat for creating such a wonderful company!
If you have any new ideas and would like to discuss them - please give us a call. We are always interested in discussing new and innovative O&P procedures, materials and techniques.
Last but not least - Thank you to all of our friends for your continued support. We wouldn’t be here without you!
Sincerely,
The MOT Team
