Les Entreprises Bourget is a fourth-generation, family-owned Quebec specialty chemicals manufacturer founded in 1929 and headquartered in Saint-Paul, in the Lanaudière region. The company produces road maintenance and surface treatment products for municipal, public, and private sector clients across Quebec, including the AP-35 liquid calcium chloride dust suppressant (80% calcium chloride, 20% magnesium chloride, certified to BNQ 2410-300), CMH-30 and SEL écologique BOURGET de-icing solutions effective to -52°C with corrosion inhibitor and biodegradable dye, ISO-certified bitumen emulsions manufactured by its wholly-owned subsidiary Les Émulsions Bourget (the only Quebec-based bitumen emulsion producer), asphalt sealer, and lime milk for paving applications. Les Émulsions Bourget has held ISO 9001 certification since 2008 and operates at over 10,000 metric tons of annual production capacity.

The business operates on a quote-based B2B sales-led go-to-market model, distributing directly through an owned fleet of 25+ specialized 10- and 12-wheel trucks serving Quebec municipalities, the Ministère des Transports du Québec, construction firms, and private operators, with regional deposit locations in Estrie, Outaouais, Centre-du-Québec, and Lanaudière. Retail distribution for consumer products (notably the Déglaçant Bourget Rose pink de-icing salt launched with Sel Drummond in 2021) flows through Canac, Timber Mart, Groupe Jean Coutu, and Metro, with $1 per unit donated to Fondation cancer du sein du Québec. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customers request submissions through a toll-free number and the company website.

The company is privately held by sole shareholder and CEO Luc Delangis (fourth generation, in role since 1991), with André Simard as Vice-President and General Manager and Sonia Maltais as Sales and Marketing Director. Strategic partnerships include Prodexim International (2017) for cement grinding agents, Sel Drummond (2021) for the breast cancer awareness pink salt, Earth Alive Clean Technologies (2024) for microbial solutions distribution, and a research collaboration with Université de Sherbrooke. Cumulative disclosed capital investment exceeds $7 million since 2017, including a 2 million liter storage mega-tank and a $5M+ Saint-Paul facility modernization announced in 2021 to expand capacity and reduce carbon footprint.

Direct peers

• Tiger Calcium Services: Canadian producer of calcium chloride-based dust suppressants and de-icing products for roads, mining, and construction. Directly comparable to Bourget's AP-35 dust suppressant and CMH-30 de-icing lines in product chemistry, application, and customer base (municipalities and contractors).
• McAsphalt Industries: Canada's largest asphalt products company, producing bitumen emulsions, cutbacks, and road paving materials. Directly comparable to Les Émulsions Bourget's ISO-certified bitumen emulsion business for road surface treatment.
• EnviroTech Services: North American manufacturer of specialty chemicals including de-icers, anti-icers, and dust suppressants. Overlaps with Bourget's calcium/magnesium chloride de-icing and AP-35 dust control products serving road maintenance customers.
• Cryotech Deicing Technology: Manufacturer of acetate-based and chloride de-icing fluids for roads, airports, and sidewalks. Comparable to Bourget's CMH-30 and SEL écologique de-icing lines in end-use application and customer type (municipal/public works).

Broad incumbents

• Colas Canada: Canadian subsidiary of France's Colas Group, a global road construction and materials producer that manufactures bitumen emulsions, asphalt mixes, and surface treatments. Competes with Bourget in Quebec road surface treatment while operating a much broader portfolio of paving and construction services.
• Compass Minerals: U.S.-listed global producer of salt, including de-icing rock salt and treated de-icers for highway winter maintenance. Comparable to Bourget's SEL écologique and CMH-30 lines, but at vastly greater scale and broader geographic reach.
• Cargill, Incorporated: Global agricultural and industrial conglomerate with a salt segment producing de-icing and industrial salt products. Overlaps with Bourget's calcium chloride-based de-icing offerings in end-use but operates at materially larger scale and across multiple geographies.

Emerging players

• Black Earth Humic: Canadian producer of humic-based dust suppressants and soil products for unpaved roads, mining, and rural applications. Comparable to Bourget's AP-35 dust suppressant business but with a distinct organic/humic chemistry focus.
