“In all those years, I never played golf like my friends know. We only worked. Always just work. Then the last few years, well, we spent the winter in Florida, it helped us get over it. But all our life we have worked. explains Gilles Chouinard, former owner of Léon Chouinard et Fils.
The company has grown from two employees in 1977, to eighty-five employees today. Gilles Chouinard remembers his very beginnings.
“The idea came from one of my brothers. We were in construction and then we were looking for areas where there were not many companies in the area. That’s how we started this, in 1977. But this building was built in 1979,” recalls Gilles Chouinard.
The new retiree is proud of the road traveled. And above all, the family spirit that they have rediscovered within the company, which will ensure continuity.
“We have always taken our employees as our customers, as our family. That’s why it was easy. Then the new company, we feel like family. We are really respected. They came here to have our technology. A lot of things we do that they don’t. They will learn from us as we will learn from them. says Gilles Chouinard.
After all these years of hard work, Gilles Chouinard is very eager to take the time it will take to be present with his grandchildren.
