Until the early 1960s, the rubber, tobacco and textile industries were the main employers in the Granby region. However, the industrial period began in 1882 with the arrival of Granby Rubber, followed closely by Empire Tobacco in 1889. In 1909, Miner Rubber followed suit along with Granby Elastic Web in 1911.

After the Second World War, Granby’s industries began to diversify, which partly explains why Granby has continued to thrive despite the disappearance of these older manufacturers.1

Today, Granby is privileged to have one of the most beautiful industrial parks in Quebec. An entrepreneurial city,several companies establish their operations here each year to stimulate the local economy. Granby’s modern industrial park offers businesses all the necessary services, including the optic fiber, and is home to over 271 manufacturing companies. The diversity of its sectors, the size of its businesses, the availability of jobs and the vitality of its entrepreneurs all contribute to Granby’s considerable reputation, along with that of its industrial park.
