Innovation pays off at Verrier Novatech
The Groupe Verrier Novatech had long bought part of its tempered glass from the United States. To increase output cost-effectively, the company wanted to temper glass itself.
Following the recommendation of Hydro-Québec experts, Verrier Novatech management opted for a continuous electric heat-treatment furnace-a first in Québec!
With this technology, the Verrier Novatech Group was able to increase production and quality while reducing costs and scrap. It now offers a wider product line at even more competitive prices!

Vitrerie April equips with latest to seize new markets
Vitrerie April set its sights on new business opportunities, which meant it had to phase in two new production lines.
