Kersia Canada

What Kersia Canada does

Kersia Canada Ltd. is the Canadian operating subsidiary of Kersia Group, a global leader in food safety and hygiene solutions, headquartered in Louiseville, Quebec. The company supplies professional-grade hygiene and sanitation products for food and beverage processing, restaurants (QSR and FSR), supermarkets, food distribution, dairy, meat and poultry processing, craft breweries, bottling, hospitality, retirement homes, educational institutions, sports/leisure facilities, and facility cleaning services. Its product portfolio spans nine core solution lines — food hygiene, dishwashing, disinfecting/sanitizing, hand hygiene, laundry, general hygiene, floor, industrial hygiene, and COVID-19/viral infection prevention — supported by proprietary sub-brands Aquaforce (performance washing for dishes and laundry) and Biosolution (biotechnology-based natural treatment of soils and odours), and specialized offerings such as the Ultrad HA Dry Air Sanitizer for food-processing environments. The company was formerly known as Choisy before rebranding to Kersia to align with the global parent identity.

Kersia Canada operates a B2B enterprise model with two primary go-to-market channels: enterprise field sales for customized hygiene solutions and a dedicated B2B online portal (b2b.kersia.ca) for direct ordering. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are directed to contact sales or submit RFQs. The company emphasizes eco-friendly formulations (phosphate-free, biodegradable ingredients) and offers a Sustainable Development Strategy (CSR) as part of its corporate positioning. Its marketing relies on corporate website content, a resource center, blog, and LinkedIn/Facebook social presence. The revenue model is one-time license/sale of consumable hygiene products rather than recurring subscription.

The customer base is diversified across enterprise accounts across multiple verticals, with named clients including Metro (food retail), St-Hubert (foodservice), Bell Centre (sports/entertainment exclusive supplier), Tricolore (Montreal Canadiens-affiliated organization), Sail (retail), Dubé Loiselle and Mayrand (food distribution), Loop Mission, Vagabond and Dunham (craft breweries), among others. The company operates exclusively within Canada and is backed by the global Kersia Group, which provides brand, R&D, and supply-chain leverage. No revenue, headcount, funding, or certification data is disclosed in the available source material.
