For 40 years, North America has been a strategic geographical area and a growth driver for DESCOURS & CABAUD.
The Group’s presence in the United States dates back to 1979 and marked the beginning of its international growth ambition. Today, DESCOURS & CABAUD has nearly 50 sales outlets and 600 employees in the country.
Canada, marked by strong economic growth, is also a zone of opportunities for the Group.
At the start of 2022, the Canadian company FICODIS joined the Group, bringing the number of DESCOURS & CABAUD points of sale in Canada to 33. An acquisition which illustrates the Group’s desire to develop in a dynamic country, with sustained growth for several years, in numerous sectors such as public transport, residential construction, the manufacturing industry and even energy.
Based in Montreal, FICODIS specializes in the distribution of products and services for industrial maintenance: power transmission, cutting tools, tools and personal protective equipment. With 20 points of sale and 243 employees, it is present in Quebec and Ontario, as well as in the United States with two locations in New York State.
DESCOURS & CABAUD has strongly intensified its presence in North America over the last 4 years, pursuing two major objectives: diversifying its sales plan and densifying its network. The Group’s ambition is to become a true partner for its customers, capable of providing them with global solutions with an unequalled level of operational excellence.
