Techno Pieux du Nord Transfers Ownership!

Techno Pieux du Nord starts a new chapter, as we welcome Dany Gaudreault and Marie-Danièle Perron, who acquired the dealership from its former owner Yves Merette. Here's some background information...

In 2004, Dany began working at a manufacturing company as a summer employee. Thanks to his many skills, he quickly made his way up the ranks, eventually becoming a team leader working in collaboration with a foreman. In May 2023, he accepted the position of supervisor, which he held until February 2024.

As for Marie-Danièle, in spring of 2015 she graduated as an engineering technician and then studied to become a mechanical engineer at the University of Chicoutimi. After working for a few years, she took maternity leave. Upon returning to the workforce, she transitioned into her current role as a maintenance engineer.

Previously, the couple had tried to acquire a business, but their efforts were fruitless. They took the next step and presented their business plan to a major financial institution offering support to prospective entrepreneurs and then, in the fall of 2023, a new opportunity presented itself. They were approached and offered the chance to acquire an existing dealership.

After signing non-disclosure agreements, discussions then quickly progressed. They visited our Techno Metal Post headquarters and were immediately won over by the team, the facilities and by TMP overall. Finally, in February 2024, they signed to become owners of the Techno Metal Post North dealership.

Over the years, Dany's experience in renovation and construction has proved to be an invaluable asset in launching this new business. As for Marie-Danièle, she plans to assist her husband with the administrative work and submission process that's involved with the business, while continuing her career as an engineer.
