Camada Group

Camada Group

Camada Group was created in 2004 by Placide Poulin following the sale of MAAX Inc., which he had built from fiberglass parts into a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The Poulin family now channels that capital through the firm, which operates as their dedicated single-family office in Sainte-Marie, Quebec. Marie-France, David, and Catherine Poulin serve as vice-presidents alongside external executives. The firm commits to private equity and real estate. It holds direct positions in operating companies and develops residential, industrial, and senior-housing assets through its Immoca subsidiary. It is a founding partner of the Champlain Senior Housing Real Estate Fund. Confirmed positions include equity in Quebec-based manufacturers and co-investments with the Fortin family in real estate vehicles. Activity spans North America, Europe, and the Caribbean, with emphasis on growth and mature-stage opportunities in private equity, private credit, and infrastructure. No public AUM figure exists. The team includes Stéphane St-Onge as general manager of finance and investment plus several financial analysts. Additional vehicles include the Fondation Québec Philanthrope and industrial and residential portfolios in multiple Quebec regions. Placide and Marie-France Poulin hold memberships in the Order of Canada and the Ordre National du Québec. Camada Group maintains a closed ownership structure limited to the Poulin family, allowing direct co-investments and long-term holding periods without external LP pressure. This architecture supports repeated partnerships with the same operators across manufacturing and property assets.
