Our history
French roots. A Canadian story since 1983.
GSF’s story begins on 1 April 1963 in Paris. From a small office on rue de Trévise, Jean Louis Noisiez developed a demanding, innovative vision of professional cleaning grounded in trust, proximity and service quality.
After rapid growth across France, GSF took a new step in 1983 by beginning its international expansion. Canada was then the Group’s first international establishment.
That is how the GSF Canada story begins in Quebec. More than 40 years later, the company continues to grow by drawing on the strength and experience of Groupe GSF while building an approach suited to Canadian realities.
Today, GSF Canada has more than 500 employees and establishments in Laval and Québec City, with an operational presence in Ontario. Teams work across commercial, institutional, industrial and specialized environments, with an offer that brings together cleaning, technical services, associated services and Multiservices.
The story continues with the same ambition: building trust through proximity, operational quality, committed teams and continuous improvement.
