Company history!

Active for over 35 years, Groupe-conseil Forchemex Ltée, a subsidiary of Groupe Rémabec, has built a solid reputation in forest management.

Forchemex is the result of an integration of the services of the wood and forestry division of Roche ltée, Groupe-conseil, now Norda Stelo Inc. and Rosaire Després & Ass. inc. a forestry services firm specializing in forest roads.

This merger combined their respective skills and consolidated Forchemex’s status as a leader in forestry. On September 1, 2017, Forchemex entered into a new agreement to partner with a long-standing customer.

As a result, it became a subsidiary of Groupe Rémabec, headquartered in La Tuque and a pillar of Quebec’s forestry industry with nearly 2,000 employees across the province.
