In 1956, Oscar Vallée founded Vallée in Saint-Alban. This Canadian company specializes in the design and manufacturing of articulated four-wheel drive forklifts as well as certified lifting equipment. Since its creation, Vallée has established itself as a leader in North America — largely because of its innovations.  

The founder built his first forklift to meet the need of a local sawmill and very quickly, interest amongst companies within the industry grew. Today, forklifts and Vallée mobile material handling equipment are used across Canada, the United States and even South America, and various sectors like mining, forestry, industrial, logistics and quarries.  

Vallée's mission is clear: to offer unparalleled service and expertise in the field of mobile material handling. To achieve this, the company is committed to respecting its fundamental values of joy, pride and efficiency. At Vallée, joy is a priority, whether it's through a sense of accomplishment, team spirit or camaraderie. A sense of pride is also essential, whether it's amongst our team, customers or partners. Everyone works hard to offer robust, quality products. Vallée also values efficiency and wants everyone to move forward together, while creating pleasant and rewarding experiences.  

Vallée and Les Produits du Québec  

Why did you join the program? "Because we notice that our customers and partners are always surprised to learn that our products are really made here in Quebec, in our factory.  We also recognize that our customers are becoming more and more aware of responsible consumption and that buying locally is a big part of the solution! "  

- Amélie Perreault, Valley ambassador
