Federal government invests $335K in Luxo Marbre
by CM Staff
To remain competitive, Luxo Marbre has repatriated its sub‑assembly operations, which require digital production equipment (lifting robots and conveyors, among other things).
SAINT-RÉMI &Mdash; On Jan. 17, Marie-Claude Bibeau, MP for Compton–Stanstead and Minister of National Revenue, accompanied by Brenda Shanahan, MP for Châteauguay–Lacolle, today announced, on behalf of Soraya Martinez Ferrada, Minister of Tourism and Minister responsible for CED, a repayable contribution of $335,000 for Luxo Marbre. This CED support will enable the business to become more competitive.
Founded in 1992, Luxo Marbre designs, assembles, and markets a wide range of vanities, sinks, quartz tops, and bathroom accessories. In 2022, the business added to its production line a range of ready-to-install (lacquered paint technology) kitchen cabinets that will be pre‑assembled at its plant; in the past, its products were fully manufactured and assembled in China. To remain competitive, Luxo Marbre has therefore repatriated its sub‑assembly operations, which require digital production equipment (lifting robots and conveyors, among other things). In addition, it is seeking to develop an innovation department, as well as aiming to deploy an international marketing strategy. All of these activities will be possible thanks to CED’s support.
“Today’s announcement demonstrates once again our government’s commitment to manufacturing businesses in Quebec and Canada. By helping Luxo Marbre become more competitive and market its products internationally, we are supporting a local business as it expands into new markets, and we are continuing to promote Canadian products around the world,” said Marie-Claude Bibeau, Member of Parliament for Compton–Stanstead and Minister of National Revenue.
