Notes on this record

  • No Laval 'top employers by headcount' list was found. Laval économique's economic reports and sector portraits give sector totals only (manufacturing: more than 530 firms and 18,700 jobs; life sciences: more than 125 locations and 5,000 jobs; Cité de la Biotech: more than 120 firms and 5,500 jobs within 3 km).
  • Blocked or not usable with the research user agent, so left out: Ville de Laval (laval.ca, Cloudflare challenge), CISSS de Laval (lavalensante.com, robots.txt 403; santequebec.ca 403), Centre de services scolaire de Laval (csslaval.gouv.qc.ca, Cloudflare challenge; search snippets of its job postings call it the 2nd-largest Laval employer with 10,000–11,000+ staff, not recorded), Charles River (criver.com robots.txt 403; the Cité de la Biotech calls it 'le plus grand employeur en sciences de la vie à Laval'), MAPEI Canada (mapei.com robots.txt 403; widely listed as having its Canadian main office and plant in Laval), Kedrion (403), Bio-K Plus (429).
  • Laval économique (S'implanter à Laval, 2026-10-30): 166,004 jobs on the territory in 2025 and 13,654 establishments in 2024. Its 2025 annual report says foreign-owned subsidiaries visited in 2025 "emploient près de 5 000 personnes à Laval" (life sciences, aerospace, agri-food), and that CANAC opened its 36th store in Laval and recruited the 200 employees it needed (CANAC's site is robots-disallowed for the store path, so no row).
  • Deepen pass 2026-10-30: careersUrl added to existing and new rows (company or official ATS pages, each opened); funding recorded only where a company release or news article gives amount and investors (Morphocell, Dispersa, Omnirobotic). BetaKit not used (terms forbid robots).
  • Blocked or not usable on 2026-10-30: citebiotech.com robots.txt now disallows ClaudeBot (earlier facts from it kept); laval.ca and its jobs host emplois.laval.ca (redirects to laval.ca, Cloudflare challenge); jobs.iqvia.com (Cloudflare); herouxdevtek.com (Incapsula — Héroux-Devtek lists a Laval landing-gear site, not recorded); geloso.com (redirect loop); montpak.com, groupeselection domains and pharmetics.com (connection failed; groupeselection.com is a parked domain); canac.ca store pages (robots Disallow).
  • Checked and left out (not Laval on their own sites): Groupe St-Hubert (careers page puts its siège social in Boisbriand), Michelin Canada (its careers site calls its office Montréal), Sanofi Canada (Canadian sites now listed in Toronto), GSK Canada (Mississauga), KisoJi Biotechnology (contact page: Montréal), Bio-K+ (no Laval address shown). Unverified leads for a later pass: Groupe Sélection (seniors' residences, said to be HQ'd in Laval), Montpak International (Laval économique 2025: expanded its siège social on place Maurice-Cullen, 7.5 M$), Groupe Geloso, Charles River, MAPEI Canada, Kedrion, Revêtements Chemtec, Ananda Devices, Recharge Véhicule Électrique (rve.ca robots 403).
