Technolignes builds an Eastern Canada leader with the acquisition of C3F Telecom
June 2026 — C3F Telecom Inc. has been acquired by Technolignes as part of its strategy to build a leading telecommunications infrastructure platform across Eastern Canada.

Together, the companies are well positioned to deliver end-to-end telecommunications infrastructure solutions to telecom operators, municipalities and public sector clients across a broader geographic footprint.

With more than two decades of experience, ISO 9001 certification and a multidisciplinary team of engineers, technicians and field specialists, C3F has built a strong reputation for delivering complex projects to the highest standards.
Founded in 1996, Technolignes is a specialized telecommunications and electrical infrastructure contractor with a strong presence across Quebec and Eastern Canada. It provides aerial and underground network cabling, fiber optic splicing, FTTH installation, civil works, structured cabling and industrial electrical services.
