#perpetualmotion
It all began in 2008 when, based on his experience in the financial and lumber markets, Philippe Boisclair founded Canadian Wood Products. During the American recession and with the arrival of Chris Labbé as a partner, the company expanded its customer base and started exporting abroad. In 2010, the organization made a strategic move and decided to diversify its activities by launching into the grain business. Thus, Grain St Laurent was founded with Steve as the head of the division. Finally, in line with this strategy to diversify activities, the group embarked in the power industry in 2012. Recently, Alain Brisebois became the Vice-President of CWP Energy and he is managing the success of the entire team. Today, McGill St Laurent is a global entity that operates worldwide and is committed to building, feeding and powering the planet responsibly.
At McGill St Laurent, we see our business as relationships, not transactions. For this reason, we foster our employees' personal and professional development.
As you can see, McGill St Laurent is a forward-thinking company, always on the lookout for new opportunities and ways to challenge status quo.
