Groupe Bouffard

Groupe Bouffard responded to the Ville de Matane’s municipal need for waste recovery. Mr. Norbert Bouffard, president at that time, seized the opportunity and invested in the assets needed for this operation through a company called Matane Sanitaire inc. Recognizing the quantity of recoverable metals, Mr. Bouffard developed a regional collection network through a company named Les rebuts de Matane. As a result, the more waste he recovered, the more impact he made regionally, particularly on the ferrous metal market, generating more opportunities to tender for waste collection contracts.

FROM FATHER TO SON
Mr. Bouffard’s son Dominic began to work at the company when he was 9 years old. He gained experience in all aspects of waste recovery and ferrous and non-ferrous scrap. After competing studies in administration, he began working full-time at the company. Aged 30, he became general manager of both divisions and at 34 he bought up both companies, renaming them Groupe Bouffard. The registered names changed: Matane Sanitaire became Bouffard Sanitaire Inc., and Rebut de Matane became Acier Bouffard Inc. In 1990, the company seized the opportunity to set up a recovery plan for recyclable materials by the Government of Quebec and invest in a sorting centre in Matane.
