P & H expands eastern operations

May 5, 2025 | 4:09 PM

Parrish & Heimbecker P&H has acquired a deep-water bulk marine export terminal in eastern Canada.

P&H bought the facility from Societe En Commandite Terminal Grains, which has been operated by Sollio Agriculture since 2021 in Quebec City.

The acquisition marks a significant step forward in P&H’s ongoing growth and commitment to strengthening Canada’s grain handling and transportation network, according to John Heimbecker, CEO of P&H.

“The addition of a Quebec City terminal is a strong fit for our long-term growth strategy,” Heimbecker said. “It allows us to offer even more reliable and efficient service to our customers, while optimizing our logistics and supply chain capabilities across the country.”

Located in a key eastern shipping corridor, and at the Port of Quebec, the Quebec City terminal is a highly efficient facility that will play a critical role in enhancing P&H’s ability to serve its customers from coast to coast.

With this acquisition, P&H has established a new commercial relationship with QSL International Ltd. whose expertise in the Port of Quebec will support the integration of the terminal into P&H’s national supply chain.

The company was founded in 1909 when two grain-trading families, led by W.L. Parrish from Brandon, Man. and Norman Heimbecker from Hanover, Ont., joined together to become Parrish & Heimbecker.

Members of these two founding families still own and manage the company.
