Major Growth for a Quebec-based Company

We are pleased to present this drone footage of our newly expanded plant, adjacent to our head office. This video bears witness to the strong growth and explosion in demand for central vacuums that we have experienced in recent years. This was possible thanks to the commitment of our team, but above all, thanks to you, dear partners. We are grateful for your loyalty and continued support.

Blainville, Quebec, May 2022 - Trovac, a Quebec-based company specializing in vacuum systems with a worldwide reputation, has undergone a major expansion in recent years. In fact, 2021 will be remembered as the year Trovac achieved its strongest growth in its 60-year history. As a result, the company must now increase its production and storage capacity to handle the supply and logistics challenges that emerged during the pandemic and its aftermath. The expansion, which will increase the plant's size from 67,000 to 85,000 square feet and lead to the hiring of a dozen people this year, will be completed in September 2022.

"This project is in line with our strategic plan to increase our manufacturing capacity and support a strong North America expansion, particularly due to the explosion in demand for Trovac central vacuum cleaners and the Retraflex retractable hose system," stated Marc Bruneau, president of Trovac Industries. “More concretely, a significant investment of $4.5M will allow us to reorganize our supply chain, increase our storage capacity for raw materials - such as the metal used in the manufacturing of our vacuum systems - and double our production capabilities," he explains.

Blainville Mayor, Liza Poulin, confirmed her enthusiasm for the announcement. "I am delighted to see that a local company, with such a notable international reputation as Trovac, has the wind in its sails and chooses to invest and establish itself here, in Blainville. Our city is proud and honored to see this project come to fruition," she said, in an interview with the Trovac team.

The expansion project includes a lounge for employees and a new cafeteria, while the capital investment will be used to acquire new production equipment to increase productivity and enhance research and development programs. The goal is to strengthen the company’s position as a leader in its industry by introducing new products and improved technologies.

Towards a Healthier and Greener Future

This announcement ensures the continuity of the company's expansion plan, notably marked by the 2019 investment project to improve the air quality of the plant and head office by using Cyclo UV air purifiers, as well as the changing the plant’s LED lights for a greener and more energy efficient innovative production.

Furthermore, in order to reduce its carbon footprint in the near future, Trovac is currently working to better consolidate its shipments. Likewise, in addition to modernizing its brand image in 2021, the company has also undertaken to use recycled cardboard for its packaging and to eliminate all plastic bags to make way for reusable bags.
