Pierre Paquin. From an early age, Pierre Paquin was fascinated by boats. Having spent his summers at the family cottage in Champlain, he enjoys admiring these big ships passing before his eyes. He regularly accompanies his father, Lucien Paquin, who founded Three Rivers Shipping Co. LTD in 1943, to the port of Trois-Rivi\u00e8res to nurture his fascination for stevedoring and shipping. Little did he know, at the time, that he would be setting up a major Canadian company, and that his vision would result in a tremendous

The last coal shipments were delivered to Somavrac and made way for new products such as gypsum, road salt, fertilizers and various products for paper mills which will now be handled. The 70\u2019s decade also saw the important addition of liquid bulk handling. This was a new expertise in the area of liquid products, highly sought after for the pulp and paper industry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3a9f0988\" data-id=\"3a9f0988\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d662f39 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-accordion\" data-id=\"7d662f39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 id=\"elementor-tab-title-2101\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2101\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-circle\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M256 8C119 8 8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248S393 8 256 8z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus-circle\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M256 8C119 8 8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248S393 8 256 8zM124 296c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12v-56c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h264c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v56c0 6.6-5.4 12-12 12H124z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">1970<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2101\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2101\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signing of an agreement with an Ontario mining company for the shipping of 125,000 tons of ore to Sweden.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 id=\"elementor-tab-title-2102\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2102\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-circle\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M256 8C119 8 8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248S393 8 256 8z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus-circle\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M256 8C119 8 8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248S393 8 256 8zM124 296c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12v-56c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h264c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v56c0 6.6-5.4 12-12 12H124z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">1975<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2102\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2102\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offering transportation services becomes a must to better serve customers.

Robert into the company. Marc Paquin had already held several positions in the company prior to his arrival in 1981 as Operations Manager. Having accompanied his father on the docks from an early age, Marc subsequently invested a great deal of time and energy working with his father and many other mentors to learn the rudiments of the trade. Pierre, Marc and Robert had great ambitions for Groupe Somavrac, and the 80s were the years when the first big dreams came true, with growth outside Trois-Rivi\u00e8res. In fact, the 80s were marked by various tank acquisitions at the Port of Trois-Rivi\u00e8res and by the construction and creation of new companies in Quebec.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-272b8a65

Having specialized mainly in the pulp and paper industry, management seeks to diversify its activities and turns to the aluminum smelting sector. Optimal and personalized service is at the heart of Groupe Somavrac&#8217;s operations. Its customers being Somavrac&#8217;s main concern, this is what will make its reputation even today. Our managers are always on the lookout for ways to offer their customers more, from one end of the supply chain to the other.<\/p><p>With this in mind, at the end of the 90s, the company made a major investment by modifying certain facilities to be able to manufacture sodium hydrosulfite. At that point, Groupe Somavrac became a fully-fledged product manufacturer for the first time in its history.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50
