Creaform to move headquarters to expanded location in Lévis
02/11/2016
Creaform, a worldwide leader in portable 3D measurement solutions and engineering services, has announced its decision to move its headquarters to Innoparc Lévis in order to support its growth. This move represents a $20 million investment in order to triple its production capacity and hire a significant number of new employees. The new building will have twice the square footage of Creaform’s existing facilities, increasing from 38,000 to 76,000 sq ft.
The company’s management unveiled Creaform’s future site in front of all of its employees. Established for the past 10 years on rue Saint-Georges in Vieux-Lévis, Creaform’s headquarters include its research and development, product manufacturing and assembly, engineering services, sales and marketing and administration departments.
Creaform partnered with Groupe Commercial AMT to work on the project of transitioning to its new headquarters. Mr Jacques Tanguay, President of Groupe Commercial AMT, will have the honour of making the first dig in Creaform’s highly symbolic groundbreaking ceremony.
The company has increased its sales tenfold over the past decade. “And we have no intention of slowing down. Our goal is to double our sales within the next five years,” explained Martin Lamontagne, Creaform’s Co-Founder, Vice President and Business Unit Manager. “We needed to expand our headquarters in order to increase the production of multiple new 3D technology platforms.
“The investment in the Innoparc will enable us to increase our office space, modernise our facilities and integrate new cutting-edge technology,” added Fanny Truchon, Creaform’s Vice President of Operations. “These are compelling reasons for both current and future employees to choose Creaform.”
The building will offer a high-quality, contemporary working environment for the Creaform team. It will be the result of an integrated architectural design process that blends comfort and functionality. In addition, it will be located near a forest of over 7,000,000 sq ft, with winding cycle routes and footpaths.
Creaform also wanted to remain in Lévis, where it was founded. “Creaform will continue to support Lévis, our hometown that gave us a chance and today remains the ideal location for our company to thrive,” concluded Mr Lamontagne. The site was chosen for its proximity to Québec City’s major roadways and services.
Creaform will be moving to its new headquarters, situated at 4700 rue de la Pascaline, in November 2017.
