Amecci receives $250K from federal government to upgrade its mfg. equipment

SHERBROOKE — Élisabeth Brière, MP for Sherbrooke and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, on behalf of Soraya Martinez Ferrada, Minister of Tourism and Minister responsible for CED, announced a repayable contribution of $250,000 for Amecci Inc. This CED support will enable the business to acquire equipment to manufacture abrasive bands.

Amecci is a family business specializing in the processing of abrasives into sanding products. In the form of belts, disks, sheets, rolls, and brushes, they are for the industrial market and are used to treat wood, bodywork, metal, and composite materials. CED’s support in acquiring and installing manufacturing equipment will enable the business to improve its productivity and production capacity, in order to boost its growth.

“Thanks to CED’s financial assistance, Amecci will be able to modernize its production line to meet demand, as well as compete, attain better production levels, and address the labour shortage. It will thus be able to pursue its growth, while also strengthening its position in the industry and on the markets, thereby helping to stimulate the regional economy. Congratulations to the entire Amecci team,” said Élisabeth Brière, MP for Sherbrooke and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development.

“SMEs are at the core of community development. We help them grow, and so I am pleased with CED’s support for Amecci’s project. Its contribution to Sherbrooke’s economic vitality is undeniable! Without a doubt, the success and spin-offs of the business will be felt throughout the region, and right across Quebec and Canada,” said Soraya Martinez Ferrada, MP for Hochelaga, Minister of Tourism and Minister responsible for CED.
