What Electro Saguenay Ltee does

Électro Saguenay Ltée is a Quebec-based, family-owned infrastructure construction company founded in 1961 by Clément Fleury and currently led by his son, President and CEO Jean-Pierre Fleury. The firm specializes in turnkey construction, modification, and maintenance of high-voltage electrical networks (up to 735 KV) and private fiber optic telecommunications networks, serving enterprise clients that include Hydro-Québec, Bell Canada, Telus, Rogers, Videotron, Cogeco, Rio Tinto, Boralex, Northland Power, Agnico Eagle, and the Canadian military. Core engineering capabilities span overhead and underground line construction, transformation substations, wind farm collector networks, directional drilling, and custom duct manufacturing for bridges and tunnels, with several proprietary equipment innovations including Quebec's only vibration-equipped mole plough, made-to-measure suspended duct systems, a custom lifting mechanism for live 735 KV circuit breakers, and ultra-long-range OTDR testing equipment capable of 200 km signal segments. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, CMEQ, ACQ, RBQ, and CNESST certifications, plus a CRTC non-dominant telecom carrier license.

The business operates two complementary revenue streams: project-based construction services delivered under direct enterprise field sales, and recurring revenue from leasing and selling approximately 1,500 km of company-owned fiber optic networks in the Saguenay, Lévis, and Bas St-Laurent regions. The firm has cumulatively built more than 5,500 km of electrical distribution networks and 6,000+ km of private fiber optic networks across Quebec, with availability of services extended to broader Canadian and US markets. Go-to-market is relationship-driven enterprise sales with dedicated project managers assigned as single points of contact on each engagement; pricing is quote-based with reference project values in the low single-digit millions of CAD. The company maintains two wholly-owned sub-brands, Comrol and Telebloc, within its telecom operations.
