Camada Group is a private equity company held by the Poulin family, headquartered in Sainte-Marie, Beauce, Quebec, Canada. Our Family Office specializes in investment, equity participation in high-performance companies and in real estate projects. 

Our approach: develop effective partnerships with the management and development teams in place. 

When he started his business in 1969, Mr. Placide Poulin manufactured fiberglass snowmobile parts. The declining market for these vehicles in the early 1970s forced the Beauceron to find a new outlet. To diversify his production, he manufactured and sold bathroom accessories, which allowed the company to specialize in this sector. 

A man with a vision, Mr. Poulin imposed fiberglass in an industry where cast iron and steel prevailed. 

• Maax Inc. became a public company listed on the Montreal Stock Exchange in June 1987 and on the Toronto Stock Exchange in 1992. 
• In turn, Marie-France, David and Catherine Poulin, as well as Bruno Raby joined the great team of Maax Inc., a human capital that contributed to this major entrepreneurial success. 
• With a development strategy based on growth through innovation and the development of new markets as well as a series of 15 targeted acquisitions, Maax Inc. became one of North America’s largest manufacturers of bathroom, kitchen and spa products. 
• In June 2004, a financial consortium acquired Maax. At that time, the company had 3,800 employees, 23 plants and a turnover of over $ 640 million. 
• The Poulin family, with all their known passion and efficiency, is now working to perpetuate this vision of entrepreneurship. 

The Camada Group, a private equity firm, is now enabling its experienced team to actively participate in the success of local businesses through investments and equity investments. We are proud to be a strategic and financial partner in many projects.
