MONTRÉAL, March 14, 2018
/PRNewswire/ - No one could have predicted that what started
as a Paquin-family owned and operated business in Québec City, QC
in 1952, focusing on stevedoring and cargo handling along the
shores of the St. Lawrence River, would one day become one of
Canada's most successful business
stories. The story now continues with its recent strategic
expansion in the U.S .Gulf region propelling LOGISTEC to prominence
as a key leader in the marine sector.
LOGISTEC's continued success can be traced back to its visionary
founder Roger Paquin. His
innate drive, ambition, commitment to going beyond for his
customers and uncanny flair for predicting changes in customer
needs and innovation in the industry, has enabled LOGISTEC to
thrive over 65 years in a constantly evolving marine and
environmental industries.
This focus on excellence and business acumen is carried on today
by daughter Madeleine Paquin C.M. President and CEO of LOGISTEC who
took the helm in 1996.
"My father would be very proud of where we are today," explains
Madeleine Paquin from LOGISTEC's
headquarters overlooking the Port of Montreal. "The values that he passed on are
truly the foundation of the LOGISTEC family culture and our drive
to evolve and expand to meet new industry demands is what keeps us
excited about the future. The recent acquisition of Gulf Stream
Marine, a leader in terminal operations in the Gulf Coast region,
was the perfect next step for us."
To celebrate this evolution and to recognize LOGISTEC's
expanding reach, LOGISTEC is excited to introduce a new branding
that clearly reflects its sectors of expertise as denoted in the
new coloured "O" – marine services and environmental services both
linked by water. This unique combination of services is brought to
life by the dedication of the Paquin family, along with 2,300
people across North America, from
the Arctic to the U.S. Gulf, and key industry partners, who
together strive every day to go beyond for their customers.
The future is bright for the LOGISTEC family.
