Quebec, Canada - May 23rd marked an important day in our history with the inauguration of our partner Entosystem's facilities in Drummondville. With over 100,000 square feet of space, this is the largest insect production plant in North America! Each year, this waste-free process will : ✅ Repurpose 90,000 tons of organic material ✅ Produce 5,000 tons of high-quality proteinaceous larvae ✅ Provide 15,000 tons of approved fertilizer for organic farming At the event, our CEO, Martin Couture, spoke about our new strategic partnership. "For 84 years, it's been in Sanimax's DNA to transform everything and make the circular economy a model in the food industry. Entosystem fully embodies this approach and demonstrates today that new innovations can generate great projects. We are proud to be at Entosystem's side and to participate in its growth." Many thanks to all those who have contributed in any way to this project. Sanimax is proud to partner with Entosystem to create a greener future. In our own way, we will find increasingly efficient solutions to create value out of the leftovers of the agri-food industry.

What a great year it has been! Sanimax is proud of the work accomplished by all its teams, especially on 2 important aspects for us. A STRENGTHENED MISSION Our partnership with Entosystem has given us a new and inspiring push to further our mission and our promise to do everything we can to recycle all the materials we recover. This Quebec-based company will produce insect-based flour for domestic and farm animals from some of the leftovers we recover. MEETINGS THAT DO GOOD The resumption of the Leadership Tour in our plants in Canada and the United States was good for all of us. It was great to catch up with the teams, meet new recruits, celebrate the years of service of those who have been with us for over 25 years, and take the time to recognize the most inspiring employees with our Alex Awards! This recognition program highlights the efforts, achievements and excellence of those who go above and beyond the call of duty, in keeping with our vision and corporate values.
Our training teams recently completed a training course on the basics of training resources...!

Our vision at Sanimax is to give meaning to the careers of the individuals who choose us. We want to provide multiple opportunities for career advancement for everyone. Training at the beginning of a job is obviously an important factor for success, but continuous training is even more important for growth!
