business was expanding from Quebec City to Montreal—an exponential growth. Every expansion since has felt like the same leap of faith, whether it be from Quebec to Ontario, and then Ontario to Western Canada. When Congebec first thought of expansion, recalls Pendault, it was in their “wildest dreams” to make it to the bigger Montreal market. “If you are from Québec City, which is a rather small city, it is a big step to branch out into the Montreal market,” he says. “We wanted to kickstart the growth from Québec city and see where we could take it. In our wildest dreams, we would make it to Montreal.” Congebec not only “made it” in Montreal, it thrived. Through a mixture of acquisitions and organic growth, Congebec became the number one player in Quebec, and has not looked back, becoming one of Canada’s most reliant and successful refrigeration services companies.
