Mecano Mobile R.L. expands plant and pursues growth objectives

AMQUI, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Jan. 12, 2017) - Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED)

Businesses need adequate resources to create and market their innovative products. The Government of Canada is committed to supporting Canadian enterprises that are investing in innovation. As a true economic driver, innovation is the key to success because it generates growth, which benefits businesses and communities.

Acting on behalf of the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for CED, Rémi Massé, Member of Parliament for Avignon-La Mitis-Matane-Matapédia, announced that $291,000 in financial assistance has been granted to Mécano Mobile R.L. to increase productivity, expand, and support growth.

Created in 1995 by Renaud Lavoie, Mécano Mobile R.L. specializes in the design, manufacture, upgrade, repair and installation of hydraulic systems for various types of equipment. It also runs machining and welding operations. Its clientele works in a variety of industries, including forestry, transportation and construction.

The enterprise is located in Amqui in Bas-St-Laurent, and business growth is currently limited because of lack of space in the plant. The repayable contribution granted under CED's Quebec Economic Development Program (QEDP) will allow the business to expand its plant and acquire and install leading-edge equipment (gantries, electric cutter, scrap metal machine, etc.).
