MONTREAL, QC., May 7, 2025 – HGreg was honoured at the 2025 Les Mercuriades competition, organized by the Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec (FCCQ), by winning the Mercure award in the EDC International Market Development category.

The EDC International Market Development Award recognizes the exceptional performance of a Québec company that has implemented an export or foreign direct investment strategy that has led to tangible growth in international markets. HGreg, already well established in Canada, has distinguished itself by the strategic expansion of its activities in the United States, particularly in Houston, where it has experienced sustained growth since the opening of its first dealership in 2023. Quebec-based automotive group is now present in three largest U.S. car markets – Florida, California and Texas.

“This recognition reflects the strategic vision we have pursued for many years: to showcase our business model well beyond Quebec,” said John Hairabedian, President of HGreg. “Today, HGreg operates more than 48 new and used vehicle dealerships across North America and now sells more vehicles in the U.S. than in Quebec. But it all started here, in Quebec. The lessons learned here served as a springboard for our international success. The expansion of our activities represents a major step in this direction, and we intend to continue building on this momentum.”

This is HGreg’s second Mercure award, having also been honoured in 2023 by Investissement Québec in the Productivity Increase category.

Thanks to its vast network of 130 chambers of commerce and 1,100 corporate members, the Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec (FCCQ) represents more than 50,000 businesses operating in all sectors of the economy throughout Québec. The FCCQ is the largest network of businesspeople and companies in Québec and is both a federation of chambers of commerce and a provincial chamber of commerce. Its members, whether chambers or companies, all pursue the same goal: to foster an innovative, competitive and sustainable business environment.

Established in 1993, HGreg is committed to simplifying the car-buying process through its core values of excellence in customer service, transparency, smart use of technology and a refreshing customer-focused philosophy. Supported by a passionate team of car enthusiasts, HGreg operates dealerships in Québec and the U.S., offering both new and pre-owned vehicles. For more information, visit www.hgregoire.com.
