H.M.
Métal Inc. was founded in 1990
by Michel Neault
and his wife Hélène
Aubin. H.M. Métal Inc. works in
the domains of manufacturing of metal products,
manufacturing, welding and mechanical installation.
Mr. Neault has a college degree in metallurgy.
Prior to starting the company, Mr. Neault worked
for some years for a multinational company well
known in the welding field.
Wishing to return in his native region, Mr Neault
and his wife decided to start their own company
in the municipality of Ste-Sophie-de-Lévrard.
Off to a very modest start with only 3 employees,
the company however rapidly grew and surprised
and satisfied its clientele by the competence
of staff and the quality of the work which was
accomplished.
Starting off with more of a "local"
clientele, the company reached a
"regional" clientele as the competence
of the company was recognized. Companies of international
caliber, notably in the domain of aluminium, have
requested the company's services with much success.
After only a couple of years of existence, H.M.
Métal did a major breakthrough on the metal
industry market.
In the past 3 years,
the company has more than doubled its sales figure
and has the intention to continue in this way
in the years to come. Investments of 500,000
$ were completed in the year 2000 and
of 250,000 $ which
has ended in spring 2003 confirms the confidence
the management has in the future of the company.
The number of the employees has also doubled and
should continue to grow in the future. At this
point, H.M. Métal
has always favored the local labor.
To insure a follow-up and a better control on
management production, the company is equiped
with a fine point computer system.
The engineering department insures the development
of high quality products which answer the actual
demands of the customers.
To this day,
H.M. Métal
counts 45 employees
within its organization and possesses a factory
of 25,000 sq. ft.
besides including a 6
000 sq. ft. storing surface. The company
saw itself awarded in
Autumn 1999 the price of best small and medium-sized
company in the entrepreneurship category
at the official reception of the Banquet des Seigneurs,
for the companies of the MRC of Nicolet and Bécancour
region.
In conclusion,
one can conclude that the dynamism and the enthusiasm
present in all the members of the team at
H.M. Métal is a guarantee for the
future. This will only assure that H.M.
Métal's range will continue to grow
in its region and even, one can believe , beyond
the territory that it already possesses. |
