Origins and development of the firm
Between 1998 and 2001, specialized in the industrial, manufacturing, infrastructure, and construction sectors, Shellex Experts Conseils, Comeau Experts Conseils, and Shellex Consulting Group were founded with a common goal: to offer specialized engineering solutions tailored to clients’ specific needs and to the reality of contractors.
In 2004, Gestion de construction Comeau-Handfield was created to meet the growing demand for integrated, turnkey projects. It became Shellex Construction in 2016.
In 2018, Comeau Experts Conseils became Shellex Infrastructures.
Then, in 2020, all professional services were consolidated under a single banner: Shellex Consulting Group.
Shellex Consulting Group and Shellex Construction collaborate to provide comprehensive, efficient, and personalized services to clients in municipal, commercial, institutional, and industrial sectors.
Expansion and diversification
Established in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield since its inception, Shellex is expanding its presence with the opening of offices in Sainte-Julie (2014), Toronto (2016) and Terrebonne (2017), which allows it to cover Greater Montreal and the Ontario metropolis.
In 2023, the acquisition of GCI Experts en Énergie enriches the offer with expertise in energy efficiency and decarbonization, while adding an office in Sherbrooke.
In 2024, an office was also established in Quebec City to support growth in the infrastructure sector.
Leadership and Vision 2030
Since 2024, the management has been provided by 4 executives who represent the multidisciplinary nature of the firm. Today, Shellex has more than 130 engineers, technicians and professionals, capable of delivering projects of all sizes with efficiency and rigor.
Its Shellex 2030 vision is based on innovation, partnership and sustainable performance, to remain a strategic player in engineering and construction for years to come.
