Our Story

1958 After 15 years behind a grader, Marcel Poirier founded his company. With one truck, a Caterpillar, and a small tractor, he balanced agricultural grading, aggregate hauling, and work on Highway 20.

1966 First agricultural drainage projects. Marcel and his crew carved furrows across Quebec’s fields with efficiency and precision.

1973 The company became Marcel Poirier et Fils Inc., officially marking the family succession.

1980 Following Marcel’s passing, his wife, Marie-Paule Desrosiers, took over leadership — with the same determination seen in the field, long before it was considered the norm.

1982 The five Poirier sons took the reins, ready to carry on and grow the family legacy.

1985 Normand Poirier, one of the five sons, became President and launched a new phase of growth.

1987 First municipal snow removal contract in Montreal and the first sports drainage systems installed on a golf course. Agricultural fields gave way to well-manicured fairways.

1989 First irrigation work at the Boucherville Golf Club.

1993 Golf renovations expanded significantly, strengthening NMP’s reputation.

1995 A fire destroyed the Sainte-Madeleine offices. The company rebuilt at 2674 Chemin Plamondon and introduced the Golf Poirier brand identity.

1996 A landmark project: full construction of Golf Métropolitain — 36 holes delivered in just 14 months. The company’s first mandate as a general contractor for a golf course, a decisive milestone that transformed the way it worked: no longer just executing plans, but bringing them to life.

1998 First project outside Quebec at Royal Oaks Golf Club (NB). That same year, Marcel Poirier et Fils became NMP Golf Construction Inc., and NMP Golf Construction Corp. was established in the United States.

1999 First U.S. project at Baker Hill Golf Club (New Hampshire). A new market, the same rigor. The story expanded to a North American scale.

2007 NMP applied its golf expertise to soccer and baseball fields. Same precision, same high standards… just with a ball in play.

2008 Launch of design-build sports field projects and expansion of snow removal operations into Mont-Saint-Hilaire and Beloeil.

2010 First major sports project outside Quebec: the Steve Omischl Complex in North Bay, Ontario.

2013 40th anniversary of NMP Golf Construction Inc. and the return of agricultural drainage operations — back to the company’s roots.

2015 Acquisition of Mini-Excavation Beloeil (now Excavation Solco), specializing in excavation, decontamination, concrete cutting, and core drilling — a complementary addition to NMP’s operations.

2018 A new logo for NMP Golf Construction Inc. brought a fresh, modern look while staying true to the company’s values.

2022 After 50 years of service, Normand Poirier passed the presidency to his son Simon, ensuring a smooth and natural transition.

2023 50th anniversary of NMP Golf Construction Inc. and 25th anniversary of NMP Golf Construction Corp. Launch of the largest project in the company’s history: reconstruction of an 18-hole course in the Greater Montreal area.

2024 Creation of a specialized irrigation division to complement the company’s drainage expertise.

2026 The Canadian brand evolved: “Golf Construction” was dropped in favor of simply NMP, reflecting the full scope of services — sports fields, drainage, irrigation, snow removal — all delivered with the same commitment to excellence.
