Permacon

Permacon is a Canadian manufacturer of concrete landscaping and masonry products, founded in Quebec in 1952 as Bloc Vibré and merged in 1986 with Les Industries Fortier to form Groupe Permacon. Since 2001 it has belonged to Oldcastle Architectural, the building products division of the Irish group CRH.

The company presents itself as Canada’s largest manufacturer of concrete products, with more than seventy years of activity, eight plants and over four hundred employees in Quebec and Ontario, and more than nine hundred distribution points across Quebec, Ontario and the Atlantic provinces. Its catalogue covers pavers, slabs, steps, capping and retaining walls for landscaping, alongside brick, block and stone for buildings, organised by application — patios, driveways, pools, rooftops — and by building type.
