Canada's new government grants $104,688 in assistance to Fenêtres MQ Inc.

News Release

Montréal, Quebec, March 28, 2007 The
Honourable Jean-Pierre Blackburn, Minister of Labour and Minister of
Canada Economic Development, today announced the awarding of $104,688
in repayable funding to Fenêtres MQ Inc. of Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts to
support the firm's efforts to commercialize its products to markets in the
south-eastern United States. This project, which is expected to result in
the creation of some 10 jobs over the next two years, will enable the
firm to obtain "Miami Dade County Approved" certification.
Fenêtres MQ specializes in the manufacture of custom doors and windows
for up-market homes and traditional- and colonial-style historical buildings.
In 2001, it became the first manufacturer of its kind in North America
to convert to a Single Part Manufacturing process, a method
that uses computer and robotic technology for the rapid and precise machining of
parts. This process gives the firm distinct competitive advantages and ensures
the optimal and sustained manufacturing quality of its products.
"Innovative Quebec enterprises like Fenêtres MQ are key levers of
economic growth, particularly in the tertiary wood processing sector. Canada's
new government is committed to encouraging our SMEs to make full use of
innovation in order to meet the challenges of the 21st century and harness
new opportunities here and around the world," stated
Minister Blackburn.
"More than 70% of our production is bound for the United States, Europe
and the Caribbean. This support from Canada Economic Development will
help secure the growth of our enterprise and enable us to export a new range of
Florida Building Code-approved products to our target markets in the
United States coastal regions, Florida being one of them," explained
Fenêtres MQ President Gilles Morin.
