Sotrem

What Sotrem does

Sotrem is a privately held Canadian metal manufacturing company headquartered in Chicoutimi, Quebec (legal entity SOTREM (1993) INC.), founded in 1993 and operating with 51–100 employees. The company specializes in aluminum transformation and metallurgical processing, offering six core product and service lines: heat treatment of steel and aluminum, aluminum recycling and remelting, cleaning/repair/demolition of aluminum production equipment, and manufacturing of aluminum cones, precision granules in the 0.01mm–5mm size range, and specialized aluminum alloy ingots. Its quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015 by Intertek.

Sotrem serves industrial and manufacturing customers worldwide through a direct B2B sales motion, supplemented by strategic partnerships with four Quebec aluminum-sector associations — AluQuébec, CQRDA, Trans-Al, and V Aluminium. Revenue is generated through quote-based sales of metallurgical services and custom aluminum products (classified as hardware sales and professional services), targeting specialized markets that require precision aluminum components, custom alloys, and circular-economy-aligned recycling. The company emphasizes sustainability, family-values-based team culture, and a "world-class" reputation within the Saguenay aluminum cluster.

Operationally, Sotrem runs from a single disclosed manufacturing site in Chicoutimi and has remained privately held without external institutional investors or disclosed parent entities. The most recent capital event was a CAD $725,943 grant from Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions dated 2026-05-21, consistent with non-dilutive public funding supporting operational capability in the Saguenay region. Leadership is anchored by President and CEO Michel Boudreault, with no disclosed succession, M&A, or major restructuring events in the available record.
