Béton Optimal
While the financing for the new laboratory construction is not yet finalized, I really appreciate that the team organized a special meeting to ensure timely progression.
A concrete growth!
François Gagnon worked for many years in concrete plants before founding Béton Optimal in Eastman in 2008. He sold it three years later and remained as managing director. In 2018, he was still so passionate about the business that he decided to buy it back.
“By that point, the direction that the business was taking didn’t resonate with my vision, and buying it back became the best option”, says François. That’s when he called CAE Memphremagog. “They provided financing to help me buy back the shares”.
A tailored approach to support
Béton Optimal was in a good place when François decided to buy it back. The company offers various services including quality control, consulting and technical expertise, and they needed to hire 3 to 5 employees to face the growth. “The team at CAE Memphremagog was very supportive”, says the entrepreneur. They did a thorough analysis of the business’ financial status and guided me as I considered various facets of the acquisition.”
What sets CAE Memphremagog apart? According to François Gagnon, it’s without a doubt the personalized approach we offer. That contribution is still bearing fruit today. “The company has soared, and we have outgrown our laboratory”, says François. To expand it, he therefore called on CAE Memphremagog, and we are happy to oblige!
