Industrie de l'aluminium - Québec soutient une PME de la Gaspésie
AI Article Summary
The Quebec government is financially supporting Groupe AEM Canada to increase its high-purity alumina production in Cap-Chat, Gaspésie. A $7 million investment and 10 megawatts from Hydro-Québec will enable the company to double its capacity and create over fifty jobs. This project aligns with the 'Le pouvoir québécois' economic vision amidst trade uncertainties with the United States.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project demonstrates how public investment can boost regional development and create jobs in strategic sectors. For Quebec builders, this means increased opportunities in the aluminum supply chain, with a focus on technological innovations to remain competitive. Expanding production capacity will also require new permits and potentially prefabrication solutions to meet demand.
