Trois-Rivières SME will receive $360,500 in financial assistance from CED to improve its productivity through digitization.
TROIS-RIVIÈRES — The Minister of Sport and Minister responsible for CED, Pascale St–Onge, announced a repayable contribution of $360,500 for MuraLuxe Inc. to acquire a lacquering system.
With this new digital production equipment, the business will reduce the risk of injury and production errors by eliminating delicate operations conducted to date by hand and will also minimize the amount of waste being produced. This acquisition project will enable the manufacturer to not only meet the growing demand of its clientele, but also launch into the U.S. market.
“Our government has adopted measures to help businesses that focus on digitizing their operations. That is why we are providing our support to MuraLuxe, whose success is raising the profile not only of the Mauricie region, but of the entire Canadian economy. We are here to support workers and Quebec and Canadian SMEs. By helping businesses equip themselves with what they need, we are all together helping to rebuild a stronger, more resilient, more sustainable economy,” said St–Onge.
Formed in 2016, MuraLuxe focuses mainly in the design, manufacture, and installation of decorative wall coverings for bathrooms, showers, kitchens, and living rooms.
“This automation project is an important step as we pursue our growth,” said Boris Tellier, General Director and Co–owner, MuraLuxe. “In addition to standardizing our production, we will be able to meet the growing need for our products and thereby continue to develop across Canada and even North America in the short term. We are very excited by the opportunities this new investment provides.”
