The company encompasses two corporations: PG Hardwood Flooring Inc. and Model Hardwood Inc. PG manufactures flooring boards ready for factory finishing or varnishing on the premises after installation. PG is the exclusive supplier of Model Hardwood, a company specializing in prefinished hardwood flooring.

 The PG acronym consists of the first letters of the last names of Julien Paré and Richard Garneau, co-founders in 1979 of PG Hardwood Flooring Inc.

As early as 1982, PG sales reached two million board feet. In 1990, Richard Garneau bought back the shares of his associate, Julien Paré, and in 1991, Claude, Hélène and Julie Garneau became sole owners of PG Hardwood Flooring.

Model Hardwood started operations in 1997. Today, the company ranks among the largest hardwood flooring manufacturers in Canada. Model, specialist in the production of prefinished hardwood flooring, is renowned for the exceptional quality of its hardwood floors and has established an enviable reputation, thanks to the unique balance achieved in the finish applied to each board. 

Constantly moving forward, PG Group continues to stand apart, investing more than three quarters of a million dollars in Model Hardwood in 2008 and more than $3.5 million in a brand new production line at PG in 2010. Both investments have been successful, allowing the Group to remain at the cutting edge of innovation and product quality. 

To pave the way for a new generation and pursue their goal of excellence, PG Hardwood Flooring and Model Hardwood established an important partnership in June 2010 with the shareholders of Scierie Dion, their largest supplier of hardwood. This strategic association will ensure quality and quantity of supply.
