Canada Supports Usinage Marcotte's Expansion
Usinage Marcotte, a key player in manufacturing diamond drills for mining, has received a repayable contribution of $75,000 from Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED). This funding aims to enhance productivity and production capacity by acquiring advanced plasma and oxyfuel cutting equipment. This development is expected to bolster the company's operations in East Angus, Quebec, and potentially increase its competitiveness in the mining sector. The contribution is part of CED's Regional Growth through Innovation program.
