The Fonds de solidarité FTQ is an institution that has made an invaluable contribution to advancing the business sector in Quebec for over 30 years. We are delighted that, through this act of renewed confidence, the Fonds de solidarité FTQ is demonstrating its commitment to Quebec companies looking to automate their factories. We’re also excited to welcome other Quebecmanufacturers, including those supported by the Fonds, to help them better understand the little-known field of industrial automation and robotics.” — Etienne Lacroix, CEO, Vention.
