Mission
Founded in 1979, Groupe TAQ is a non-profit organization and adapted enterprise that fosters the social and professional inclusion of people living with disabilities. Driven by the desire to provide a human-centered and fulfilling work environment to a growing number of individuals, Groupe TAQ offers stable, permanent and high-quality jobs to 310 people, including 250 employees with disabilities.

Inclusive work environment
More than 80% of our employees live with various functional limitations including intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), psychosocial disabilities (mental health conditions such as anxiety disorders, personality disorders, schizophrenia and depression), and physical disabilities (cerebral palsy, speech disorders, dysphasia, dyspraxia, visual impairment, hearing loss and neurological conditions).
A Pride factory
Groupe TAQ is much more than a factory, it is a Pride factory where each individual’s abilities are recognized and developed. Personalized supervision, weekly training, workplace and process adaptations, and our collective cafeteria are just a few examples of the concrete social impact we deliver.
From interns to employees
We proudly serve as an internship environment for students aged 16 to 21 with disabilities who are enrolled in work-preparation programs. Through partnerships with school service centres, interns acquire technical skills for semi-skilled trades while developing social and professional adaptability at TAQ.
Our values
Humain-Centered
We lead with empathy, care, and authenticity to create an environment and business relationships where people can thrive and achieve their goals.
Committed Collaboration
We build lasting relationships founded on trust with our teams, clients, donors, and public-sector partners.
Empowering Potential
We cultivate individual strengths and embrace diverse perspectives to elevate our people, partners, and the communities we support.
Creative Agility
We think beyond the expected and embrace innovative ways of working to expand our collective impact.
Business model
Groupe TAQ is recognized for the excellence of its manual and semi-automated contract manufacturing services for assembly, packaging and food co-packing solutions. Thanks to our hundred business partners, we fulfill our mission every day: to provide people living with functional limitations with a rewarding living environment.
In parallel, Groupe TAQ designs, manufactures, and assembles Faber snowshoes, produced exclusively for retailers such as Costco Canada and Decathlon Canada, and sells models under its private label to around one hundred specialty shops.
As an adapted enterprise, we benefit from valuable financial support from Services Québec, enabling all employees to reach their full potential in a supported and productive work environment, regardless of their abilities.
We also rely on a leading partnership with the City of Québec, signed in Spring 2024. In addition, Groupe TAQ is proud to have the precious support of philanthropic partners.
