Soucy Group
Quebec, Canada-based privately-held industrial manufacturer; founded 1967; ~1,800 employees across Canada, US, Brazil, and Asia. One of the top-3 manufacturers of agricultural rubber tracks globally. Confirmed OEM supplier to John Deere 8RX Series track tractors (440–540 HP) — the premium track tractor in Deere's lineup. Also supplies aftermarket and construction track segments. Competes directly with Camso/Michelin (26% market share) and Bridgestone in the agricultural rubber track market. Soucy's Quebec manufacturing uses natural rubber sourced from Southeast Asia processed into high-density rubber tracks for large agricultural equipment.

Did you know2023
Soucy Group manufactures rubber track systems for both John Deere 8RX high-horsepower farm tractors and NATO-allied military light armored vehicles -- from the same Quebec manufacturing base, using the same rubber compounding technology. The agricultural track segment is civilian (crop farmers in Iowa and Ontario) and the military segment is defense (Canadian Armed Forces, allied nations). A Canadian government export restriction on rubber track technology, a labor dispute at the Drummondville facility, or a natural rubber supply disruption from Southeast Asia would simultaneously affect John Deere 8RX tractor production schedules and military vehicle readiness programs for NATO allies. Defense procurement and agricultural equipment procurement communities have entirely separate monitoring and alerting systems and would not coordinate their response to a shared Soucy supply disruption.
Soucy Group ↗Origin2023
Soucy Group was founded in 1967 in Drummondville, Quebec as a rubber product manufacturer serving the snowmobile industry -- Quebec had become the snowmobile capital of the world through Bombardier, and small Quebec rubber manufacturers built their businesses around Bombardier-adjacent supply needs. Soucy expanded into agricultural rubber tracks in the 1990s as the technology matured and large North American farms began adopting track systems for soil compaction reduction. The military track business came from the same core rubber compounding competency: Soucy now supplies rubber tracks for Canadian and NATO allied light armored vehicles alongside its John Deere 8RX farm tractor tracks. Three generations of the Soucy family run the company, still headquartered in Drummondville, still privately held -- a Quebec family business that evolved from snowmobile parts to become a global defense contractor and major OEM supplier to the world largest farm equipment company.
