Two Quebec-based companies combining their expertise to meet the growing infrastructure needs of tomorrow.
MONTREAL, Oct. 5, 2026 /CNW/ -- Pomerleau announced today the completion of its acquisition of Groupe ALLEN, a Quebec-based general contractor that has specialized in water treatment, process mechanics, directional drilling, formwork, and earthworks for nearly 80 years. This transaction brings together two well-established Quebec companies that share a common ambition for long-term growth and a culture rooted in collaboration, trust, respect, and excellence.
Investment needs in water infrastructure are expected to continue growing over the coming decades due to aging assets, population growth, and evolving environmental requirements. By combining their complementary expertise, Pomerleau and Groupe ALLEN will be better positioned to support communities in the modernization of these essential infrastructure assets.
"Recent collaborations between our organizations have confirmed not only the complementarity of our expertise, but also the alignment of our values, ways of working, and long-term ambitions. Together, we will be better positioned to meet the growing needs of communities and contribute to delivering the infrastructure Quebec will require in the decades ahead. Our objective remains to build on Groupe ALLEN's strong foundations and support the next stage of its growth while preserving the strengths that have made it successful." -- Philippe Adam, President and Chief Executive Officer, Pomerleau
"Over the past several years, Groupe ALLEN has undergone a significant transformation that has strengthened its market position and created new opportunities for growth. Joining forces with Pomerleau is a natural continuation of this journey and will provide us with the means to accelerate the next phase of our development. We share the belief that sustainable growth is built on people, expertise, and trusted relationships developed over time. This transaction will also allow us to seize new opportunities while remaining true to our identity." -- Jean-Philippe Lefebvre, Chief Executive Officer, Groupe ALLEN
The ALLEN Group is now a subsidiary of Pomerleau and will continue to build on the strengths that have contributed to its success. It will continue operating under its own name, with its existing leadership team and management remaining in place.
An integration that preserves Groupe ALLEN's identity and strengths
Groupe ALLEN's clients, suppliers, and specialized trade partners will continue to work with the teams they know and trust, benefiting from the expertise, local presence, and strong relationships that have defined the company's reputation for decades. By combining their strengths, Pomerleau and Groupe ALLEN will be able to offer a broader range of expertise, enhanced capacity to deliver large-scale projects, and new growth opportunities for employees across both organizations.
Following the receipt of all required approvals and the satisfaction of all closing conditions, the transaction has been completed. Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. acted as mergers and acquisitions advisor to the sellers in connection with the transaction.
