This willingness to satisfy the customers, paved the road to expanding the company. "If I could not find something in used stock, I would proposed new equipment; that's how started the business of selling new equipements. In some cases, we had to adapt parts or even create a machine made to the specification of the customer : The machine shop was born !", continues M. Marquis.
