Groupe Miralis has announced a total investment of $45 million for the start-up of two new highly-automated manufacturing plants, one in Saint-Anaclet-de-Lessard (near Rimouski) and another in Québec City. With these major investments, Miralis hopes to not only respond to growing demand for its distinctive products, but it also proposes a vision: to contribute to sustainable manufacturing in Québec by bringing production to a higher standard. Proud of maintaining jobs in the Lower St- Laurent and Québec City regions, and increasing the added value these opportunities generate, Miralis also hopes it will encourage other SMEs to follow its lead.
With the investment, Miralis is moving closer to Industry 4.0 status, reaching a level of automation it calls “superior to anything else being done in kitchen cabinet and high-volume countertop production in North America.”
