Our city is host to companies which are among the world’s leaders in the areas of forestry and mining: companies such as Domtar Inc., Norbord Nexfor (Val-d’Or Panelboard Division), Uniboard Canada Inc.(Val-d’Or Division), Aur Resources, and Ross-Finlay 2000 Inc. Obviously, Val-d’Or profits from the international markets for lumber and lumber products, precious metals, and OSB particle board since these resource-based companies inject millions of dollars in their respective projects and thus there is a trickle-down effect for the region’s and the local community’s economies.

Your entrepreneurial spirit will allow you to take advantage of the traditional activities of the region to develop new products and new product-lines, as was the case with Meglab, a company which designs mining-industry communication systems which can be dismantled. A number of specialized Val-d’Or subcontractors also export their renowned expertise to South America and Africa.

Val-d’Or also numbers, among its corporate citizens, a group of very successful businesses which have shown their dynamism in the area of the “New Economy”: Québecor World Lebonfon Printers, Télébec Ltd., Télébec Mobilité, LINO, TMR Communications, and many others.
