Consultants specializing in mineral processing and metallurgy: from the design table to production
In founding Soutex in 2000, Michel Bourassa’s aim was to develop an innovative approach to mineral process engineering that emphasizes two aspects: metallurgical process quality and respect of individuals.
No road, bridge or structure is studied at Soutex, the focus is always on the metallurgical process. This way, we can ensure that high quality standards are maintained, rigorous attention to detail is achieved, and innovative solutions specific to each project are applied.
Our human-scale approach is made out of respect for both the client, and our employees. The quality of Soutex’ projects resides in teamwork and the enhancement and development of individuals’ knowledge.
Since its foundation, Soutex’ team has continued to grow to meet our clients’ needs. We currently are one of the largest groups of specialists in this field in Canada supporting process engineering and plant operation.
