Polycor Invests $15 Million in Plant Revamps
QUÉBEC CITY – Polycor will invest $15 million in advanced manufacturing facilities at two of the company’s sites in Canada and the United States.
The company, a leader, will consolidate manufacturing and add production lines to increase volume, improve efficiency and enhance quality.
“Our priority is to provide our customers with products of exceptional quality and durability while leveraging our new capabilities to expand our product offering to additional end markets,” said Brian McManus, Polycor executive chairman. “We are convinced that these investments will enhance Polycor’s sustainable growth for years to come.”
The company will invest $8.5 million in its Saint-Sébastien-de-Frontenac, Québec, operations will create 30 new jobs and consolidate current manufacturing activities at Québec plants in Rivière-à-Pierre and Ogden.
“This major investment will greatly improve and modernize our St-Sébastien facility and enhance our culture of excellence and continuous improvement,” said Daniel Robert, director of Québec manufacturing operations.
The company will offer impacted employees at these sites the opportunity to relocate, or to assist them in repositioning themselves in the job market in their own region. Closres at Rivière-à-Pierre and Ogden are expected in mid-December 2024.
Polycor’s $6.5 million investment in its Oolitic, Ind., fabrication plant will increase capacity with the installation of modern high-efficiency equipment.
“We are excited about the expanded capacity that will result from these investments in our central Indiana operations which will enable us to better serve our customers’ needs,” said Matt Howard, president of Polycor’s North American limestone & marble business.
Founded in Québec City in 1987, Polycor employs over 1,000 people and has more than 80 quarries and 20 manufacturing plants in Canada, the United States and France
