Carbotech Group Announces New Strategic Direction

Carbotech Group is proud to announce a major strategic step: The unification of Carbotech and Autolog, acquired in 2021, under a single operational entity, Carbotech. This initiative strengthens the company’s identity, consolidates its
market position and optimizes its operations. By simplifying its structure and pooling its strengths, Carbotech aims to maximize synergies between its teams and offer its customers a smoother, more consistent experience.

This evolution is accompanied by a restructuring of the management team to prepare the succession and support the company’s strategic vision. Among these changes, the company highlights the appointment of Luc Houde to the position of Chief Executive Officer, having previously held the position of Executive Vice President. Patrick Leblanc, who held the position of Vice President of Optimization and Automation until recently, will succeed Houde as Executive Vice President and will take on the responsibility for the group’s overall operational strategy.

“We are convinced that this unification reflects our dynamism and our commitment to anticipating and responding to emerging market needs,” emphasizes Luc Houde, CEO, Carbotech.

With this new, unified entity, Carbotech reaffirms its ambition to innovate, progress and excel in its field of expertise, while maintaining the standards of quality and excellence for which it is renowned. This transition, designed to be seamless, guarantees customers, partners and employees continued access to current products and services, now grouped under the single Carbotech banner.
