To support the steady growth of its Industrial Equipment Group, Premier Tech will inject seven million dollars into expanding one of the plants at its Campus in Rivière-du-Loup. That investment is required due to the great demand for its automated packaging systems manufactured in Rivière-du-Loup and exported primarily to the Americas.
Starting in March, the work for adding 2 300 square metres (25 000 ft2) to one of the two Industrial Equipment Group plants in Rivière-du-Loup will get under way. The expansion will include an area dedicated to final assembly and start-up of the automated packaging systems designed by Premier Tech’s engineering teams, as well as an isolated area dedicated to stainless steel work. The latter aspect is necessary with the considerable increase in sales in the food industry that the Group has been experiencing for several years.
