HUNTINGDON, QC, Sept. 6, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED)
Système Huntingdon, also known as Le Groupe SH, is an innovative, fast-growing company that provides graphical solutions resulting from innovative manufacturing processes based on the adoption of digital equipment. To continue its momentum, the company will receive a repayable contribution of $525,000 from Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions. With this financial assistance, the company, undertaking a digitization process, will be able to modernize its production plant and thus increase its productivity in order to continue growing.
Peter Schiefke, Member of Parliament for Vaudreuil–Soulanges and Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister (Youth) and to the Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction, announced this funding when he was visiting Système Huntingdon. The Government of Canada's assistance will enable the company to increase its productivity by automating its manufacturing processes while boosting its digitization through the introduction of computer numerical control equipment. These investments will strengthen its competitiveness, given the pressures from labour scarcity, and will help with continuing its development internationally.
