Chenail import-export acquires entrepôts Fruigor

Montreal (Quebec), June 1, 2026 — Chenail Import-Export is proud to announce the acquisition of Les Entrepôts Fruigor, a company recognized for its expertise in the importation, ripening, storage, and processing of fresh fruits and vegetables.

This transaction marks an important milestone in Chenail’s development and is aligned with a clear vision of sustainable growth, operational innovation, and the strengthening of logistics capabilities across Canada.

More than an acquisition, this agreement represents the union of two forces to move further together, as well as the beginning of a strategic partnership between two organizations that share common values: quality, reliability, agility, and a constant commitment to their clients and partners.

Founded over 30 years ago, Chenail Import-Export is today one of Canada’s leading companies in the importation, distribution, and logistics of fresh fruits and vegetables. Fruigor, for its part, has established itself over the past 25 years as a trusted industry partner, recognized for its expertise in exotic produce, ripening, repackaging, and quality control.

Through this acquisition, Chenail Import-Export strengthens in particular:

• Its storage, ripening, and processing capabilities
• Its distribution network and national market presence
• Its value-added service offering
• Its operational and logistical efficiency
• Its ability to support ambitious growth initiatives

For Fruigor, this partnership represents an opportunity to accelerate its development while preserving the identity, corporate culture, and expertise that have contributed to its success.

In the interest of continuity and stability, Laurent Nadeau and the Fruigor management team will remain actively involved in the company’s operations and development, ensuring a smooth transition and the continued strength of long-standing relationships.

“We have tremendous respect for what Laurent Nadeau and the entire Fruigor team have built over the past decades,” said Tony Bono, President and Chief Executive Officer of Chenail Import-Export. “This acquisition allows us to bring together two complementary areas of expertise and create an even stronger, more agile organization, well positioned to support our growth and that of our partners across the country.”

“Joining Chenail Import-Export is a natural step in Fruigor’s evolution,” said Laurent Nadeau, President of Les Entrepôts Fruigor. “We share a common vision focused on quality, human relationships, and a constant drive to go further for our clients. Together, we will be able to deliver even greater value to the industry.”

Both organizations reaffirm their commitment to the highest standards of quality, food safety, service, and reliability, while continuing to invest in their infrastructure, teams, and operational capabilities.
