With the addition of new associates, Rochette, Lajoie, Grondin, Normand, Rochefort et associés was established in 1965. A few years later, the 1970s marked the beginning of a growth period for Roche. Three new divisions were created: urban planning, transportation and environment. In 1977, the firm entered the international market with a first contract in the agricultural sector, in Africa. In the next few years, Roche opened several offices in Quebec — in Rimouski, on the Côte-Nord and in Thetford Mines —, as well as in New Brunswick. Over time, Roche diversified its services by creating new areas of activity within the company or associating with already established firms. The company became Roche Ltd, Consulting Group in 1984. In 1991, it built its head office at 3075, chemin des Quatre-Bourgeois, in Quebec City, its present location. In 1996, Roche adopted a quality management system that meets ISO 9001 standards.
