Hydraulique Val-d’Or is part of a family of businesses which assembled together are referred to as Groupe Element.  These individual businesses act as complementary extensions to one another and are privately owned & operated by the same family for 3 generations.  The Element family established their first forestry enterprise in 1965.  From Grandfather to Father and now to son, Patrick, has grown them into a group of businesses, each with their own specialty, clients and operational footprint.
