On May 30 & 31^st, all European dealers were brought together under one roof, at Techno Metal Posts’ annual meeting, in Amiens (France).

Its purpose was to inform the dealers on recent technological developments and promotional tools.  The event was well received, and allowed us to see the ongoing drive the dealers bring to our network.  All of them took the opportunity to exchange tips and suggestions, as well as discuss their most recent achievements.

A note-worthy mention, was the commemoration of the business’s 20 years in the industry; Techno Metal Post was started in 1993 by Clément Binet and Daniel Thivierge.  In 2003, TMP installed its first helical pile on European soil, and today the company has 115 dealers in nine countries.  Presently accredited in Canada and France, and newly certified in the U.S. in 2013, Thetford Mines has clearly become a world leader in screw pile foundations.

Good news continue to arrive as the year unfolds: two new dealers in Canada have joined the Techno Metal Post team.

Mike Smith is the new owner of Techno Metal Post Cariboo, located in Quesnel, British Columbia. Smith had the opportunity to get to know Techno Metal Posts’ pile system through his work in the construction industry. When he realized what enormous potential and quality the product had, he did not think twice about approaching Techno Metal Post to secure a dealership.

Daniel Hubert worked in the housing construction and renovation sector in Newfoundland. He discovered Techno Metal Post while looking for an alternative solution to concrete foundations for his clients. During his tour of company headquarters, Daniel expressed surprise over the warm reception offered him by the team and the scope of its operations. Following this visit, he began to prepare an application to secure a dealership in Newfoundland, which was granted him in May of this year.
