On February 6, 2025, McAsphalt Industries Limited, recognized as Canada’s foremost asphalt and bitumen manufacturer and distributor, announced the appointment of David LeMay as its new President. This appointment signifies not just a change in leadership, but a pivotal step towards the company's future growth, innovation, and commitment to sustainability.

A Stellar Leadership Background

David LeMay brings over two decades of executive leadership experience to McAsphalt. His extensive background includes successfully guiding organizations through transformative periods, emphasizing operational excellence and strategic growth. Prior to taking the helm at McAsphalt, LeMay served as President and CEO of The Churchill Corporation, where he accomplished a successful consolidation of its subsidiaries under the unified brand of Stuart Olson Inc. This strategy not only streamlined operations but also strengthened its competitive position within the Canadian construction sector.

LeMay holds an MBA from Queen's University and is known for his ability to build high-performance teams and foster a culture of innovation.

A Year of Transformation

The year 2024 was particularly significant for McAsphalt. The firm made substantial investments to enhance its infrastructure, focusing on innovation and sustainability. Among these investments was the commissioning of a new facility at Ashcroft Terminal, which stands as British Columbia’s largest inland terminal. This strategic move is expected to vastly improve national distribution capabilities.

In addition, McAsphalt launched the McAsphalt Advantage, a low-carbon, next-generation vessel designed specifically for trade on the Great Lakes. This initiative highlights McAsphalt’s dedication to environmental stewardship and leadership within the industry.

Looking Ahead with Confidence

David LeMay expressed his enthusiasm regarding this new role, stating, "I am honored to lead McAsphalt at such a dynamic time in its history. With a strong foundation in manufacturing excellence, an extensive terminal network, and a deep commitment to sustainability, we are well-positioned to drive continued success and deliver value to our customers and partners."

Since integrating into the Colas family in 2018, McAsphalt has consistently evolved, fortifying its position as a leader in the asphalt and bitumen manufacturing sphere. The company remains focused on leveraging its foundation built on innovation, operational excellence, and customer-driven solutions.

With David LeMay at the forefront, McAsphalt is set to continue its trajectory towards sustained growth, ensuring it remains a trusted leader in Canada’s infrastructure sector, while also emphasizing its role as a pioneer in sustainable practices.
