Groupe Desharnais Acquires Pneus St-David: A Strategic Acquisition Reshaping the Regional Market

Press release from Groupe Desharnais

Groupe Desharnais is proud to announce the acquisition of Pneus St-David, a well-established Lévis company with 50 years of recognized expertise in tires and mechanical services. The integration will officially take effect on March 2, 2026.

This partnership brings together two Quebec-based companies deeply rooted in their communities, combining a total of 125 years of industry experience. More than an acquisition, this is a strategic alliance that strengthens the regional market.

“The addition of Pneus St-David to the Desharnais family represents an important milestone in our growth. Pneus St-David shares our deeply human approach to customer service, built on proximity, trust, and pride in work well done,” said Mélanie Desharnais, Vice President of Groupe Desharnais.

A fourth-generation family business, Groupe Desharnais has been active for over 75 years in tire and mechanical services for all types of vehicles. The well-known company now operates seven locations across Quebec City, Lévis, Thetford Mines, and Charlevoix.

With the integration of Pneus St-David, the group strengthens its strategic presence on the South Shore and increases its service capacity for both individual motorists and commercial and heavy-duty transportation clients. This synergy will provide:
• Greater product and service availability;
• Expanded expertise through the union of two strong teams;
• Optimized operational efficiency.

We are pleased to confirm that all employees from both Pneus St-David and Groupe Desharnais will remain in place, with no job losses. This ensures full operational continuity and preserves the local expertise that has built Pneus St-David’s reputation.

With this integration, Groupe Desharnais further solidifies its position as a major player in Quebec’s industry and continues its growth in an evolving and consolidating market.

By combining tradition, expertise, and forward-looking vision, both companies are entering a new chapter focused on growth, performance, and service excellence.
