Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec, November 15, 2011 – The Honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities and Minister of the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec, announces that the Rivière-du-Loup firm Cuisines Concepts Plus Inc. has been awarded $90,000 in repayable financial assistance for a project to increase its productivity and competitiveness.
“The Government of Canada is always ready to support enterprises, like Concepts Plus Inc., whose projects have a positive effect on their development and the maintenance of jobs,” said the Minister.
A growth company, Cuisines Concepts Plus Inc. specializes in the manufacture of high-end kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities. To meet the ever-growing demand, the company needs to raise productivity and, to this end, acquire state-of-the-art equipment and review its manufacturing processes.
