Boîtiers STA & NOARK: Powering Reliability Across Public & Private Sectors

Boîtiers STA & NOARK: Powering Reliability Across Public & Private Sectors

May 14, 2025 With over 40 years of field experience, electrical contractor Guy St-Amour developed an innovative product that led to the founding of Boîtiers STA. In 2011, a special request for a safe outlet for an 800-amp mobile load bank resulted in the prototype for a line of custom-made boxes designed for quick and secure electrical connections. Boîtiers STA quickly grew from a garage operation into a thriving business, now co-owned by Guy’s daughter, Karianne St-Amour.
