Groupe EP Vision
At Groupe EP, we have updated our strategic plan. For everyone involved, it was a special moment. The richness, depth, and quality of our discussions brought us closer together and further aligned us for the future.
"Driving our clients forward through the strength of our innovative technological advice and our high-quality products and services."
This exercise allowed us to revisit our mission and reaffirm our foundation. For EP, it was essential to define a mission that is both inspiring and acts as a true engine in our daily work.
Company Values
The fuel that powers us to deliver our very best every day is embodied in our values. They are our DNA—the unique identity that sets us apart from the competition. Our values serve as a true binding agent, cementing not only our working relationships but also our business partnerships. They represent the very essence of Groupe EP’s culture.
From 1974 to 1992
In 1974, S. Huot acquired Engrenage Provincial DRD Inc., marking the beginning of a new era for the company. Four years later, in 1978, the company moved into a building at 960 Sainte-Thérèse Street in Québec City, now known as Raoul-Jobin Street.
In 1987, the first expansion of the premises took place, adding a warehouse and technical office to support the company’s growing operations. Then, in 1992, the company continued its development by creating a dedicated repair department.
From 1995 to 2003
In 1995, Engrenage Provincial DRD Inc. expanded its footprint in Québec by opening an office in Chicoutimi in October, located at 1323 Bersimis Street. The following year marked a major milestone with the creation of a training department and the launch of Hydraulique EP, further strengthening the company’s expertise and service offering.
In 1998, a new department focused on manufacturing was introduced, showcasing a commitment to innovation and service diversification. Finally, in 2003, the company relocated its main facilities to 2314 Saint-Paul Boulevard, consolidating its operations in a space better suited to its growth.
From 2004 to 2012
In 2004, the company continued to diversify with the launch of the electro department, adding another specialized service to its portfolio. The following year, in 2005, a second expansion of the headquarters was undertaken to meet growing repair shop and storage needs.
Between 2008 and 2011, Engrenage Provincial DRD Inc. strengthened its regional presence with the creation of Hydraulique Nord-Ouest in Abitibi, while expanding its technical expertise through the establishment of a pneumatics department. In 2012, the company kept up its momentum by founding a department dedicated to filtration, further consolidating its integrated offering.
From 2014 to 2019
In 2014, the headquarters was relocated to 165 des Cèdres Boulevard in Québec City, marking a key milestone in the company’s development. In 2016, Engrenage Provincial adopted a new identity and officially became Groupe EP, symbolizing its evolution and the diversification of its services. The following year, in 2017, Groupe EP strengthened its expertise with the acquisition of Lubrification Québec.
In 2019, this growth continued with the construction of a new building for Lubrification Québec, along with the expansion of the Val-d’Or branch, in response to the increasing demands of the regional market.
