CHIMIREC Canada: The growing business of Recyclage Hydrocarb
Established in Canada since 2009, in the province of Quebec, the CHIMIREC Group had until 2019 two subsidiaries specialising in hazardous waste management: Solva-Rec Environnement and FEC Technologie. With its third subsidiary, Recyclage Hydrocarb, the Group has seen significant growth in its activities in Canada.
The acquisition of Recyclage Hydrocarb: a successful investment
Recyclage Hydrocarb is located on a 9,000 m2 site, with a 1,200 m2 building and a storage capacity of 600,000 litres of black oil.
In 2023, the Chimirec group acquired 100% of the shares of this oil collection and consolidation company and to entrust the operation of Recyclage Hydrocarb to its subsidiary Solva-Rec Environnement.
The expertise of the local team: the driving force behind Recyclage Hydrocarb's development
For the CHIMIREC Group, the management of used black oil is a long-standing speciality, dating. Over the years, its expertise has extended to a wide range of hazardous and non-hazardous waste produced by the automotive sector. In France, the Group has set up dedicated processes for recovering oil filters and regenerating cooling fluids.
In Canada, the Recyclage Hydrocarb team has solid experience in the used oil market. They include André Lachevrotière, Director of CHIMIREC Canada, Mike Gagnon, Operations Manager, and Jean-Charles Dumais, Sales Manager.
Since this trio of managers took over the operation of Recyclage Hydrocarb, the results have been largely positive, rising from 1,000 tonnes of oil collected previously to more than 2,000 tonnes in 6 months with another 4,000 tonnes projected for 2024. These oils are sold to partner operators for regeneration or for use in the energy recovery process. At the same time, Recyclage Hydrocarb handles other waste (residual hazardous materials) produced by car garages, which is supplied to the subsidiary Solva-Rec Environnement.
Today, this expansion of activities makes CHIMIREC Canada the Group's leading international subsidiary in terms of sales.
