Gentec Inc. is a technology SME specializing in high-power electronics and electrical energy management. To continue its operations more effectively, it will receive a repayable contribution of $500,000 from Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions. With this financial assistance, Gentec will be able to complete an expansion project to increase its productivity and modernize its operations by acquiring state-of-the-art equipment.

The funding was announced today by Joël Lightbound, Member of Parliament for Louis-Hébert and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance. More specifically, the Government of Canada's assistance will support Gentec's growth, as well as its project to purchase and install equipment required for the assembly of electronic components on printed circuits.

It expects the current project to create five jobs and total investments of more than $1.3 million.
