Acting on behalf of the Honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities and Minister of the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec, Mr. Jacques Gourde, Member of Parliament for Lotbinière-Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, today announced that the industrial subcontracting firm RO-BOIS-TIC has been granted funding for the acquisition of equipment.
"Our government is committed to helping Quebec enterprises grow so that they can create more jobs. Investments such as the one we are making in RO-BOIS-TIC promote productivity in Canadian companies and the economic competitiveness of the country," said Mr. Gourde.
The project involves starting up RO-BOIS-TIC, a subcontracting enterprise in household furniture, kitchen cabinets and office furniture manufacturing. The firm will acquire entirely robotized manufacturing equipment in order to meet the needs of its customers and enable them, and RO-BOIS-TIC, to integrate into the value chain of prime contractors as well as smaller industry players. The use of a robot will also serve as a technological showcase to demonstrate the advantages of this type of manufacturing which enhances the industry's productivity and competitiveness, allowing it to better stand out in the international marketplace. According to management, two jobs will be created by the end of the project. The setting-up of RO-BOIS-TIC will also help to strengthen the economy of the Lotbinière region.
