CGC Expands Groupe Beauchesne Partnership to Include Ceilings

June 27, 2024

As the latest step in a long-standing and productive partnership, Groupe Beauchesne will begin offering new CGC product lines and brands.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MONTREAL, QC—June 27, 2024—CGC Inc., the Canadian division of USG Corporation, today announced its partnership with supplier Groupe Beauchesne will expand beyond wallboard to include CGC’s industry-leading ceiling products. The agreement comes into effect June 27, 2024.

“Groupe Beauchesne has been a tremendous partner with us for several years, as they have been one of the main access points connecting Quebecers with our trusted drywall products,” said Steve Youngblut, General Manager at CGC Inc. “Adding our industry-leading suspended and acoustical ceilings to their inventory is great news for not only our company and our staff, but most importantly our customers in the region.”

Since 1907, CGC Inc. has been a leading marketer, manufacturer and distributor of building materials in Canada, with products sold across Canada by diverse suppliers and retailers, including Groupe Beauchesne. CGC is among the country’s top providers of innovative and sustainable interior finishing materials such as drywall, flooring, roofing and ceilings. 

CGC benefits from global affiliations and state-of-the-art research and development facilities through its parent company USG Corporation, the leading drywall manufacturer in North America and a world leader in suspended acoustical ceilings. USG has manufacturing, sales and distribution facilities in several international markets, and its products are sold throughout the world.

Groupe Beauchesne is a leading gypsum specialty dealer in the Quebec market, with locations in St-Mathieu-de-Beloeil, Laval, and St-Hubert operating as Edouard Beauchesne (1985) inc., and in Quebec City, operating as Distribution Ste-Foy. In addition to the distribution of gypsum wallboard, finishing products and acoustical ceilings, Groupe Beauchesne’s EB Metal division is also a major manufacturer of steel framing and is a member of the Canadian Sheet Steel Building Institute (CSSBI).

This announcement will enable more customers to experience the full-service solutions CGC offers in the Quebec market, while simultaneously improving product availability, speed of delivery, and customer service quality — all of which are important factors in addressing Quebec’s housing and commercial construction gap.

“We’re pleased to expand our offerings with CGC into the ceilings space,” said Carl Léonard, President of Groupe Beauchesne. “Our customers expect reliable access to high quality materials in the quantities they need, and with good partners like CGC, we can deliver on that promise.”
