The federal government is making two repayable contributions totalling $350,000 to Trois-Rivieres, Que-based Technifab GC Inc. to boost the business’s growth.
The contributions are part of the Canada Economic Development program for Quebec Regions (CED)
Resulting from the merger of Technifab Inc. and Atelier d’usinage Guy Côté, Technifab GC specializes in the manufacture of anchors for steel structures, pillars, and bridges, as well as threading on reinforcing steel. With recognized technical expertise in conventional and digital machining, the business is undergoing an important phase in its development, seeking to better meet the needs of its clientele of major Canadian prime contractors.
Thanks to an initial $200,000 contribution, the SME was able to acquire and install production equipment, including two threading machines, a hybrid tower, and a machining centre. With new funding of $150,000, Technifab GC will now be able to purchase a CNC machining centre, a machine to sharpen threading knives, a digital threader, a folding machine for anchors, and related equipment. These two projects will enable the business to increase its production capacity and productivity.
“Technifab GC is a recognized business in Mauricie and an economic engine in the region. This investment will enable it, among other things, to acquire a digital threader to better meet the needs of its clientele,” said Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of National Revenue
