Our history

Aciers JP Inc, founded by René Perreault in 1991 in La Reine, Quebec, Canada, began its journey by focusing on installation services in lumber and OSB mills. Over the years, René Perreault has demonstrated his entrepreneurial talents by tackling challenges and seizing opportunities as they arise. His strategic vision and commitment to excellence have been essential drivers of the company's growth. Additionally, he has instilled values such as integrity, innovation, and customer service, which have become fundamental pillars of Aciers JP Inc's organizational culture. These values have contributed to enhancing the company's reputation and building strong relationships with clients and partners.

In 1996, a first 8,000 square foot building was constructed to house a manufacturing plant and administrative offices.

Over the years, the needs continued to increase and it was in 2000 that another 13,200 square foot building became necessary to house a garage and a warehouse. Growing constantly, it was in 2006-2007 that a second expansion was necessary. It was then that the welding workshop was expanded and a new plasma cutting table was added to our equipment.

In 2005, Aciers JP inc. has differentiated itself from the competition by marketing two new exclusive products, namely the self-cleaning rotary debarker and the mobile rotary debarker.

It was in 2016, in order to be more competitive, that the workshop reached an area of 32,000 square feet. New offices for the engineering and design department have also been added. Always at the cutting edge, 3 automated cutting, drilling and detailing equipment were added to our cutting department.

In 2021, the new owners took the helm of the company, with René Perreault passing the torch and ushering in a new era. They bring with them a fresh vision and direction that redefine our future trajectory.

The strength of a company like ours lies in several areas: the quality of our human capital, our great flexibility, the constant dynamism of our innovations and the support offered by our administrative staff. These are the keys to our success!

2022 - Quality of life in business

In order to retain their employees and overcome the current labor shortage, the management of Aciers JP has worked hard for two years to develop a pleasant living environment as well as a dynamic community. To do this, managers as well as employees from all departments were invited to express themselves about their perceptions of corporate life and their related needs. This reflection gave birth to an authentic and embodied employer brand which today guides strategies regarding quality of life in the company.
