About us
The power of a group
Elite tools was acquired in 2018 by the FICODIS consortium in order to sustain its expansion. FICODIS is a Canadian group whose main purpose is to provide companies with services, technical expertise and products in the field of industrial supplies.
Ficodis recently merged with the Descours & Cabaud group, a 240-year-old European professional supply distribution group.


Our roots
Elite tools, heir to a tradition of more than 123 years, is based on the boldness, entrepreneurial spirit, vision and know-how of two great Quebec families, the Garant and Mercier families. Originally, this company was called Les Scies Mercier. Today, it remains one of the oldest cutting tool manufacturers in North America and the building that gave birth to the company is one of the most important witnesses of Lévis' industrial patrimony.
Our mission
To offer a selection of specialized tools that fulfill the needs of woodworkers, along with unsurpassed customer service.
Elite Tools vision
A pioneer in online sales, Outils Elite made it easier for cabinetmakers and woodworkers across Eastern Canada to access professional quality tools. Patrick Garant could not imagine giving his customers full satisfaction without a state-of-the-art web site. This is how Outils Elite became one of the first companies in Canada in its field to use e-commerce.
