Trois-Rivières SME will receive $360,500 in financial assistance from CED to improve its productivity through digitization.
Supporting business transformation through digitization contributes to economic development in Quebec's regions. That is why the Minister of Sport and Minister responsible for CED, the Honourable Pascale St‑Onge, is today announcing 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.
Formed in 2016, MuraLuxe specializes mainly in the design, manufacture, and installation of decorative wall coverings for bathrooms, showers, kitchens, and living rooms.
The Government of Canada recognizes and supports businesses and organizations that are a source of pride in their communities. Quebec's economic recovery relies on these organizations with their strong roots in the regional economy. They are major contributors to growth, as well as key assets in rebuilding a stronger, more resilient, greener, and more just economy for all.
