Background
Groupe Westco
Groupe Westco is a New-Brunswick company based in Saint-François de Madawaska, near the Canada-U.S. border. Born from the union of poultry producers who shared a common vision for expansion, the association quickly became a success story and an example of hard work, innovation and profitability. In fact, we are well known by chambers of commerce, different levels of government and are often quoted as a model in the media. Engaged in society, we sponsor many social programs and contribute to fundraising in our community.
Groupe Westco is one of the largest poultry farming organisations in Canada. We started with small meat-producing chicken and turkey farms and have grown to include our own hatchery, reproduction farms and transportation companies. We gained a solid understanding of the field and, a few years ago, we started thinking about expanding our business to include related and complementary activities such as:
- Food products (table eggs, liquid eggs);
- Recuperation (organic fertilizer production);
- Transportation (transportation and distribution network);
- Power (hydropower and wind power)
- Forestry (hard wood factory, forest harvesting).
