Saguenay— Lac-Saint-Jean

Our home turf. Head office in Saint-Bruno, local crews, deep knowledge of regional smelters, sawmills and farms.

For over 10 years, CFI has been rooted in Saguenay. Our head office and fabrication shop are in Saint-Bruno (Lac-Saint-Jean-Est MRC, 30 min from Chicoutimi), and our employees live in the region. We know the OHS demands of Jonquière and Arvida smelters, the seasonal pace of Lac-Saint-Jean sawmills, and the tight harvest deadlines.

Whether it's a planned smelter shutdown, an emergency repair on a sawmill conveyor, or a new silo at a Lac-Saint-Jean farm, we're less than an hour from most sites in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean.
