In 2017, the Lactantia (property of LACTALIS CANADA - formerly Parmalat) plant in Victoriaville decided to replace its 40-year-old steam boilers.
This was aimed at optimizing the company’s energy performance and reducing its environmental footprint, as well as increasing the company’s steam production capacity for 2019. In 2017, Lactalis Canada’s management was preparing for a major increase in its needs due to its growing operations and the expansion of the nearby Canlac plant (for which Lactalis Canada supplied steam under a contractual agreement).
