Gatineau, Quebec, November 6, 2013 – The Honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of Infrastructure, Communities and Intergovernmental Affairs and Minister of the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec, today announced that the firm Storeimage has been granted financial assistance for the acquisition of manufacturing equipment.
“By helping Storeimage acquire equipment to improve its productivity, our Government is showing once again that it is committed to investing in projects that contribute to economic growth,” said Minister Lebel.
Storeimage is a leader in, among other things, the creation of museum and science centre exhibits and the execution of commercial projects. The firm does graphic production and printing of interior and exterior signage and operates a manufacturing shop for the design of portable kiosks and permanent and temporary exhibit structures for local, national and international clients.
The financial assistance from Canada Economic Development will allow the Gatineau enterprise to purchase the equipment it needs to improve its manufacturing processes and thereby raise its productivity and competitiveness. Storeimage expects to create 13 new jobs by the completion of this project.
This support, granted in the form of a $240,000 repayable financial contribution, has been awarded through Canada Economic Development’s Quebec Economic Development Program.
