About Us
Who we are

Forage Abitibi was founded in 1994 by Clermont Giroux, a hardworking and dedicated man. His commitment to excellence and constant focus on meeting the needs of his clients quickly helped to establish the company’s reputation. Driven by his passion for drilling, Clermont embodied the values of hard work and integrity, values he proudly passed on to his son, Steve Giroux.

With Clermont’s support, Steve developed his expertise and acquired his first drill. Armed with this experience and his father’s confidence, Steve took the reins of the company in 2012, ushering in a new era for the family business, which was renamed Giroux Drilling. This transition marked the beginning of a period of dynamic growth and continual innovation.

Since its inception, the company has been in perpetual development, always on the lookout for new drilling techniques and with a constant desire to strengthen the health and safety of everyone involved.
