To support the growth of its industrial equipment group, Premier Tech will inject seven million dollars into expanding one of the plants at its campus in Rivière-du-Loup, Que. The investment is required due to demand for its automated packaging systems manufactured in Rivière-du-Loup and exported primarily to the Americas, said the company in a statement.
Work for adding 2,300 sq. m. (25,000 sq. ft.) to one of the two industrial equipment group plants will get under way in March. The expansion will include an area dedicated to final assembly and start-up of the automated packaging systems designed by Premier Tech's engineering teams, as well as an isolated area dedicated to stainless steel work. The latter aspect is necessary with the increase in the company’s food industry business.
Over the next three years, around 30 new team members will join the roughly 60 already at this plant, the surface area of which will then reach nearly 7,000 sq. m. (75,000 sq. ft.).
"This expansion is a major step for our Industrial Equipment Group teams," states Jean Bélanger, president and CEO of Premier Tech. "It demonstrates the extent of our teams' skills. Our clients, regardless of where they are from, don't hesitate to come to Rivière-du-Loup because they recognize the state-of-the-art nature of our solutions. The growth potential is considerable, and it's really very encouraging for the entire team."
