JOLIETTE, QC, March 18, 2026 /CNW/ - Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED)
Today, Carlos Leitão, Member of Parliament for Marc-Aurèle-Fortin and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for CED, the Honourable Mélanie Joly, announced a total of $900,000 in repayable contributions for Triotech Amusement and Les Cartons Corruguard. This CED support has enabled the two businesses in the Lanaudière region to acquire production equipment in order to remain competitive and innovative.
Founded in 1999, Triotech Amusement is a leader in designing and manufacturing multi-sensory interactive attractions. The business creates immersive, interactive attractions for the entertainment and edutainment sectors, in addition to offering turnkey solutions to its clients. To support its growth, it has received $500,000 in financial assistance from CED, enabling it to acquire new production equipment, install integrated management software and conduct marketing activities.
A family business led by a visionary woman entrepreneur, Les Cartons Corruguard manufactures tailored corrugated cardboard corners to pack furniture, bathtubs, doors and windows. An ecofriendly solution made from 100% recycled and recyclable cardboard, the Corruguard cardboard corner is designed to replace several industrial packaging components that are difficult to recycle, including styrofoam. The $400,000 in funding from CED has enabled the business, through a comprehensive engineering project, to design and manufacture a new production line to increase its productivity and production capacity.
The Government of Canada recognizes and supports businesses and organizations that are a source of pride in their communities. Quebec's economic growth relies on organizations with strong roots in the regional economy; they are key assets in building a sustainable, inclusive economy. By assisting Lanaudière businesses, the government is reaffirming its priority to build a unified Canadian economy, where each region and each business contribute to the country's collective prosperity and vitality.
