In 2004, Congebec purchased the Centre Frigorifique Montérégie, which is now referred to as Sainte-Julie warehouse. In doing so, Congebec also purchased CFM logistics that now is Congebec’s transport division. After the acquisition, Congebec became the largest refrigerated warehouse company in Quebec and second largest in Canada. In 2006, the Boucherville warehouse was considerably expanded. A seventh warehouse was built in Manseau in autumn 2008. This warehouse is almost entirely dedicated to the cranberry industry. In 2011, Congebec entered the Toronto market with the opening of an 8th refrigerated warehouse strategically located near Pearson Airport, with more than three million cubic feet. In 2013, Congebec conducted its largest expansion in history by acquiring four Westco Multitemp warehouses located in Calgary, Saskatoon and Winnipeg, which gave Congebec a total of more than 48.3 million cubic feet.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://finance.yahoo.com/news/congebec-logistics-inc-acquires-westco-172541740.html )〕 In 2015, Capital régional et coopératif Desjardins (CRCD), a retail fund managed by Canadian private equity firm Desjardins Capital de risque, led an undisclosed investment in Congebec Logistic Inc. The deal was also backed by Fondaction CSN and Investissement Québec and supported the transfer of management of Congebec Logistic from its founder, Laurier Pedneault, to his son, Nicholas-P Pedneault. As a result of the transaction, CRCD, an existing investor in the company, became the majority shareholder.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.pehub.com/canada/2015/02/20/desjardins-leads-investment-in-congebec-logistics-succession-plan/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gcca.org/press-releases/iarw-and-wflo-elect-new-officers-and-board-members-2/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Congebec Logistics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
