Purolator opens master Montreal facility
ST-LAURENT, Que. — Canada Post’s parcel delivery arm announced plans to build a state-of-the-art facility in St. Laurent, Qué.
The new hub has been dubbed the most efficient and technologically advanced Purolator Courier facility in Canada.
Equipped with the latest package sortation and scanning technologies, the 160,000 square foot facility will service the Québec market.
The facility will be located on a 37.5 acre site located at 5000 Boulevard de la Côte-Vertu — adjacent to Aéroport International de Montréal Pierre-Elliot-Trudeau. It will consolidate the operations of two facilities — one located in Dorval and the other in St. Laurent.
Employing about about 350 personnel, the hub provides Purolator’s Québec division with increased shipment capacity; will process 24,000 pieces of conveyable freight per hour; and utilize automated conveyable sorting and scanning technology.
