Commitments that lead to tangible results
Sanimax, a family business established in Quebec over 85 years ago, is still driven by the same values upheld by its generous and determined cofounders, Alex and Déziel Couture, who strove to build a company culture focused on those around them.
Today, Sanimax has grown into an international company with facilities across North and South America, while staying true to its core values. We remain attentive to the needs of our employees, clients, and surrounding communities, ensuring that our commitments in every country where we operate speak for themselves.
Odour management
The raw materials we recover can sometimes generate odours, especially during heat waves. We take this issue very seriously and implement concrete daily measures to minimize the impact of our operations on those living near our facilities.
Logistical adjustments adapted to each of our facilities, along with the implementation of a state-of-the-art logistics system, the addition of process automation, the improvement of our artificial intelligence, and targeted investments, help improve the overall performance and stability of our operations. These improvements allow us to deal with fewer unforeseen circumstances and thus work faster, all of which reduces the risk of odours generated by the raw materials we collect.
Environment
The environment is at the heart of our rendering operations. Each year in North and South America, we renew over two million tons of organic materials by-products that would otherwise be sent to landfills, playing a key role in the circular economy by transforming them into valuable resources.
We continuously improve our methods as we aspire to build a greener future for generations to come. In each of our factories, we invest in equipment and constantly set in motion new innovative projects to reduce our ecological footprint and maximize resource recovery.
Community
Sanimax values strong, positive relationships with the communities where we operate. We are committed to being a responsible neighbour by implementing innovative solutions to minimize our impact and foster a harmonious environment. Beyond our operations, we invest time and resources through donations and sponsorships to support local initiatives and help communities thrive.
