Centre-du-Québec

The Industrial Crossroad

Located halfway between Montreal and Quebec City on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, Centre-du-Québec offers an unmatched strategic position for distribution and trade. Known for its strong entrepreneurial roots, the region combines deep agricultural traditions with heavy-hitting industrial growth.

Key Economic Drivers

  • Manufacturing & Logistics: Drummondville and Victoriaville anchor a highly diversified manufacturing sector, specializing in machinery, plastics, and commercial goods. The region’s central highway network makes it a top choice for transport and logistics operations.

  • The Battery Valley Hub: The industrial park in Bécancour has transformed into a world-class center for the electric vehicle battery supply chain. It continues to attract billions in global investments, making it a critical player in North America’s green technology sector.

  • Agri-Food Leadership: The region is an agricultural heavyweight. It is a provincial leader in dairy, maple syrup, and cranberry production, which directly supports a large and stable local food processing industry.
