A Legacy Built Over Three Generations 

The Crevier Group’s story began in 1945, when Émile Crevier laid its foundation in Quebec. Over the decades, the Group expanded its reach across diverse sectors, paving the way for bold ventures that shaped its future. 

In 1988, Catalys Lubricants was born—a testament to the Crevier family’s vision of meeting Canada’s growing demand for high-quality lubricants. From the onset, Catalys Lubricants set out to serve the varied needs of Canadian industries, from automotive to commercial and industrial enterprises. Built on precision, dedication, and excellence, the company has remained steadfast in its commitment to its customers and the industries it serves. 

National Growth and Strategic Expansion 

For decades, Catalys Lubricants has thrived on partnerships and enduring relationships. 

A significant milestone was reached in 2000, when the company forged a strategic alliance with Chevron Lubricants, a globally respected leader in the field. This partnership provided access to Chevron’s high-performance product portfolio, elevating the Catalys Lubricants offering and giving the company a competitive edge. 

With these foundations in place, Catalys turned its focus to geographic growth. In 2013, the company expanded into British Columbia, establishing a truly national presence and ensuring customers across the country could access its products and services seamlessly. 

In 2021, Catalys marked another pivotal achievement by partnering with Shell Lubricants. This collaboration further enhanced its capacity to meet the evolving needs of Canadian businesses, setting new benchmarks for performance, reliability, and innovation. 

Acquisitions That Reimagined Market Leadership 

Strategic acquisitions have been instrumental in Catalys Lubricants’ rise as a market leader. Between 2014 and 2022, the company made key acquisitions that broadened its reach and capabilities: 

• 2014: Acquired Case ‘N Drum (Ontario)
• 2015: Acquired RP Oil (Ontario)
• 2022: Acquired LubeSource (Ontario), North Atlantic (Newfoundland), and Nemco Resources Ltd. (Prairies)  

These acquisitions solidified Catalys’ position as a Canadian leader in the lubricant industry, extending its presence and influence across the country.
