For over sixty years Permacon has been a pioneer, innovator and champion of growth as Canada’s largest producer of concrete products.
In 2001, Permacon merged with Oldcastle Architectural, a North-American leader in the manufacturing of concrete masonry and landscaping products as well as products specifically designed for the do-it-yourself (DIY) construction and landscaping retail market segments. Oldcastle Architectural is part of the Oldcastle family of companies, a giant with sales of over $11 billion (US) in 2014. Oldcastle itself is owned by CRH, a construction product multinational – headquartered in Dublin, Ireland – with revenues over $27 billion (US) in 2016.
Offering an evolving line of over 1000 masonry and landscaping products, Permacon helps diversify and adorn the outdoors for residential, institutional, commercial and industrial environments.
With its 12 plants and over 800 employees working in its Quebec and Ontario facilities, Permacon caters to customers representing five market segments: • Residential landscape products • ICI masonry products – Institutional, Commercial, Industrial • Residential landscaping products • ICI landscaping products – Institutional, Commercial, Industrial • Retail distribution – Home Centers
Over the past decades, Permacon’s reputation as an international leader was acquired based on the firms two main sectors of excellence: 1. Innovation and R&D 2. Marketing, sales and customer service
Founded in Québec in 1952 as Bloc Vibré inc., the company merged with Les Industries Fortier Ltée in 1986 to create Permacon Group. Permacon then grew quickly due in part to a series of mergers and acquisitions.
In 2001, Oldcastle, a construction materials multinational company based in Atlanta, Georgia, acquired all of Permacon`s shares. In merging with this powerful group, which has over 39,000 employees across North America, Permacon is accelerating R&D activities and is in a strong position to flourish in Canada and abroad.
