Entering a new market, Canada’s largest snow shovel manufacturer expands into outdoor power equipment.
Saint-François-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud (Québec), November 12, 2024 – A leader in the manufacturing and design of winter tools, Garant proudly announces the launch of its all-new cordless electric snow shovel. Available as of today, this innovative shovel promises to transform how Canadians tackle winter.
Expanding into outdoor power equipment
This new product is the first outdoor power equipment designed by Garant. Known for its high-quality, non-motorized snow shovels and tools for over 130 years, Garant is entering a new market segment. By November 2025, the company will add electric snow blowers to its lineup, which already includes more than 2,000 products available at 4,800 retailers across Canada. This new product category is anticipated to drive a 20% growth opportunity for Garant.
"The launch of our first outdoor power equipment represents an exciting new chapter for Garant," says General Manager Pierre-Yves Martin. "Our goal is to deliver high-performance tools for all outdoor projects, including snow removal. This launch also reflects our commitment to battery-powered tools, providing innovative and premium solutions to meet our consumers’ needs."
An innovation designed for Canadian winters
Designed and developed in Canada by the Garant engineering team, the cordless electric snow shovel combines performance and reliability to face harsh winters. After more than a year and a half of development and multiple tests, the marketed product is unique on the market.
This shovel stands out mainly thanks to its 180° rotating chute allowing it to direct the snow precisely, up to a distance of 7.5 meters (25 feet). It is also equipped with a robust impeller inspired by industrial equipment to resist debris such as pebbles, a powerful 62V battery, as well as adjustable skid shoe.
Designed to efficiently clear snow from tight spaces, whether it's loose or compacted snow, this cordless electric shovel provides an effortless experience. Its ergonomic design and maneuverability on various surfaces ensure a comfortable and efficient snow removal experience.
The Garant cordless electric snow shovel is on sale in most hardware stores including RONA, and other retailers specializing in industrial products.
