Kingsway Bulk gets a new head office!

A new head office is under construction along Route de Fossambault in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures. Relocation to the new premises is planned for fall 2020.

In May 2020, construction began on the Kingsway Bulk Division’s new head office. Located at 280 Route de Fossambault, Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, the massive future building will be used by the entire Kingsway Bulk Division administrative team, in addition to the impressive mechanical maintenance department.

The mechanical maintenance department will have 14 garage doors, each solely dedicated to company fleet maintenance. The building will also include all facilities necessary for company driver well-being during turnaround times at the terminal.

Located at the Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures industrial park’s northwest entrance, this building will serve as a beacon for the park, showcasing the municipality Kingsway Bulk Division has proudly established itself in for nearly five years.
