What Préverco inc does

Préverco inc is a Quebec-based, family-owned manufacturer of solid and engineered hardwood flooring, founded in 1988 by Fernand Dufresne, Gaston Julien, and Edmond Perreault. The company operates a vertically integrated production chain spanning a sawmill in Daveluyville, two manufacturing plants in Boisbriand and Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, and corporate headquarters in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Quebec. All output is sold exclusively through a network of over 500 authorized retailers and dealers across Canada and the United States, with additional exports to Mexico and other international markets. Current leadership is anchored by President & CEO Jean-François Dufresne.

The product portfolio is organized around four proprietary platform technologies: SolidClassic (100% solid hardwood), Flex13/16/19 (engineered with softwood lamellas and flexible polymer wires), Max19 (three-layer engineered for maximum stability), and Dec19 (densified engineered structure with enhanced water and adhesion performance). Production spans seven wood species — Oak, Maple, White Oak, White Oak on Quarter, Cherry, Ash, and Hickory — with multiple appearances, textures, and finishes, complemented by FX Reactive Colors and RAW Colors sub-brands, mouldings, and maintenance accessories. Manufacturing incorporates advanced robotics. The company holds GREENGUARD Gold, EPD, CANFER, and Lacey Act certifications, and supports a 35-year residential warranty across its product lines.

Revenue is generated through one-time product sales routed entirely through the authorized dealer network; Préverco does not sell direct to consumers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set by individual retailers. Customer-facing tools include a virtual decorator, a virtual guide, a dealer locator, and a free sample program (up to 5 samples). End customers span residential homeowners, home builders, real estate developers, interior designers and architects, and commercial installers, with the company's primary project-based use cases in new construction, renovation, condominium and multi-unit residential developments.
