ADF is upgrading its facilities in Terrebonne and Métabetchouan to help meet the growing demand for heavy steel structures
Today, the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions, announced a $12.5 million investment through the Strategic Response Fund in ADF Group Inc.'s $52.3 million project to upgrade and modernize its specialized steel production facilities in Terrebonne and Métabetchouan, Quebec. The global economy is rapidly transforming, and the Government of Canada is making strategic investments to protect Canada's steel industry, support Canadian workers and strengthen domestic industrial capacity as part of building a strong, resilient economy.
This impactful investment will enable ADF Group Inc. to outfit its Terrebonne fabrication plant with new equipment to fulfill a multi-year contract to supply Hydro-Québec with power pylons. It will also allow the company to modernize its Métabetchouan facility to meet growing demand for heavy steel structures in the hydro-electric sector. The government's investment in this project will also help create at least 100 jobs and maintain more than 525 well-paying jobs over the course of the project, supporting a strong workforce in Canada's steel industry. Once upgraded, these facilities will reinforce Canada's domestic critical infrastructure capabilities and strengthen our domestic industrial sectors.
As Canada moves from reliance to resilience, the government is investing in the long‑term sustainability of the Canadian manufacturing sector and strengthening the domestic supply chain for key energy and infrastructure projects. This strategic investment follows the measures to protect and strengthen Canada's steel industry announced by Prime Minister Carney on July 16, 2025, and Minister Joly's announcement on May 4, 2026, of a new $1 billion Business Development Bank of Canada program to support Canadian businesses affected by tariffs. The Government of Canada is investing to maintain a strong Canadian steel industry and the well-paying jobs that come with it.
