Groupe Alfred Boivin Inc. was created in 1947 by Mr. Alfred Boivin who launched his enterprise in Chicoutimi, starting with only one truck...

In over 60 years, Groupe Alfred Boivin has undergone quite a boom and can currently count more than 400 units in its heavy machinery park. During that half-century, Groupe Alfred Boivin has also developed a diversified expertise in all the civil-engineering related domains.

Accurately reflecting this diversity, the Group now owns 7 enterprises specialized in the following fields of activity:

• Civil engineering • Dynamiting and drilling • Snow clearing • Sandpit exploitation and crushing plant • Short and long distance transport • Land development (residential, commercial and industrial) • Reconditioning of industrial manufacturing by-products • Recycling of industrial materials and equipment • Real estate park management • Managing and settling of industrial mud.

From 1993 to 1998, Groupe Alfred Boivin acquired a sharp expertise in environment matters and in the integrated management of waste. This expertise is now exploited under the banner "Innovation Industrielle Boivin" which specializes in the reconditioning of industrial manufacturing by-products, and the recycling of industrial equipment and materials.

By the addition of ancillary options like transport, drilling and dynamiting, environment protection and industrial and real estate sectors to its initial mission focused on civil engineering, Groupe Alfred Boivin favourably positioned itself in the sector of big business and major undertakings.

Nearly 350 people work for Groupe Alfred Boivin in the peak season. Its annual turn-over reaches 65 M$ and keeps increasing. The coordination between the various levels of intervention in the organization is orchestrated by a united management team including five members of the founder’s family.

Entrepreneurship is a driving force in the development of the enterprise and the consolidation of its activities. The "Sceau d’Or" awards attributed to the management staff members confirm their respective competence as superintendent, estimator or project manager.
