New name for Coop fédérée

MONTREAL — La Coop fédérée, parent company of BMR Group, is set to rename itself Sollio Groupe Coopératif at its annual general meeting next week, La Presse reports. Quebec’s National Assembly late last year cleared the way for the move, which makes the co-op’s agribusiness segment, dubbed Sollio Agriculture since 2018, its namesake division. La Coop fédérée most recently changed its name in 2005: prior to that it was known as Cooperative fédérée de Québec. In addition to Sollio Agriculture and BMR, it includes the Olymel brand of meat products.
