Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Acts as Exclusive Financial Advisor to Colabor in Connection with its Sale to Financière Outremont.

Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton is pleased to announce its role as exclusive financial advisor in connection with the acquisition of Groupe Colabor Inc. ("Colabor"), along with its Norref Fisheries specialty seafood and Transport Paul-Émile Dubé divisions, by Financière Outremont. Founded in 1962, Colabor is one of the largest food distributors and wholesalers in Québec, serving the hotel, restaurant, institutional, retail and independent-distributor markets. 

The Company operates an integrated distribution platform combining broadline foodservice distribution, wholesale distribution, and specialty distribution and processing activities. It serves over 6,600 customers with over 14,000 products sourced from a network of more than 600 suppliers. This combination of distribution scale and specialty expertise has made Colabor an essential link between suppliers and foodservice operators across Québec and the Atlantic provinces. 

We are proud to have played a pivotal role in bringing this transaction to completion and to have supported an important step forward for one of Québec's leading food distribution platforms.
