For more than 30 years, the Dissan Group has been at the forefront of innovation and creativity, continually on the lookout for new markets to conquer. We’ve developed our expertise over decades to become the leading Canadian distributor of janitorial supplies and equipment. Our strength is rooted in our spirit of collaboration, our dynamism, our enthusiasm, and our pride. These qualities helped us succeed yesterday, they drive us today, and will continue to inspire us tomorrow.
The Dissan Group is born of the visionary genius and entrepreneurial spirit of a group of independent Canadian entrepreneurs motivated by their desire to help each other consolidate their strengths and increase their purchasing power.
In 2001, a visionary by the name of Mario Lamarche takes the reins as CEO of the Dissan Group. He has the ambitious mission to rapidly expand the Group and give independent sanitary product distributors across Canada the benefit of increased purchasing power. Thanks to a series of pioneering developments, the Dissan Group has since achieved spectacular growth. In a constantly evolving industry, there’s only one rule: innovate or die! The Dissan Group chose innovation.
