Abbott has been a part of Canadian life since 1931, when the company opened its first office in Old Montreal. Nearly a century later, approximately 1,500 employees work across Abbott Canada's headquarters in Montreal, a Point of Care manufacturing plant in Ottawa and a lactulose production facility in Victoriaville — making Abbott one of Canada's most established and widely trusted healthcare companies. That longevity reflects a genuine investment in the country: in its science, its communities and the health of the people who call it home. 

Abbott's Canadian portfolio covers nutritional products, diagnostic instruments and tests, and vascular therapies — anchored by household names like Similac, PediaSure, Pedialyte, Ensure and Glucerna that Canadian families have relied on for generations. The Ottawa Point of Care plant manufactures diagnostic testing technology used by healthcare professionals across Canada and beyond, bringing lab-quality results closer to patients when and where they need them most. Abbott also addresses malnutrition through specialized medical nutritional products formulated for Canadians living with cancer, food allergies, gastrointestinal conditions and other serious health challenges. 

Canada's healthcare system is defined by its commitment to universal access and evidence-based medicine, and Abbott's work here is aligned with those values. Whether advancing blood screening technologies that protect the country's supply, developing glucose monitoring systems that help Canadians with diabetes live more freely or creating vascular therapies that support recovery from cardiovascular disease, Abbott in Canada brings the full power of global innovation to the health challenges that matter most to Canadians. After nearly 95 years, that dedication is as strong as it has ever been.
