In 1989, the company expanded northward, setting up another shredding operation, Capitale Metal Recycle Inc., in St.-Augustin-de-Desmaures, located near Quebec City. Before long, the company extended even farther north, mostly right along the St. Lawrence River, opening Cacouna Metal Inc. (Cacouna, Quebec) in 1993, Maritimes Metal Inc. (Edmundston, New Brunswick) in 1994, and a few other satellite operations in 1995. To top it all off, the firm also became a partner in two joint ventures, one a shredding operation in Newfoundland and the other a mobile car-flattening business in Quebec. In other words, in the two decades since the Hamelins opened their small scrap business, they have built a super-regional, horizontally integrated entity, covering all the bases from auto dismantling to car flattening to scrap processing to shipping by truck, rail, and boat. As Jean-Guy, the company's president, sums up, "We're a tree that has many roots, not just one. That helps make us very solid."
