\u201cWe are both proud and excited to make today\u2019s announcement,\u201d said Maxime Gagnier, President of Saman.<\/p>\n
\u201cFinitec is a true Quebec flagship in our industry, with a reputation that extends far beyond our borders. We are<\/p>\n
thrilled to welcome them to the Saman family. Together, we combine the best of both worlds to become a<\/p>\n
large-scale Canadian manufacturer, positioned to play an even greater role in the North American market.<\/p>\n
Saman and Finitec will continue to deliver innovative, top-quality products, along with outstanding in-store<\/p>\n
service and support.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cBy transferring Finitec to Saman, we are passing the torch to a credible team capable of writing the next<\/p>\n
chapter of its story,\u201d added Marc Rioux, Co-owner and President of Groupe Finitec.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are confident that Finitec\u2019s employees, customers, and partners are in good hands\u2014both in terms of continuity and future growth.<\/p>\n
As for our group, this transaction gives us the opportunity to focus even more on AcoustiTECH, which has<\/p>\n
specialized in building acoustic solutions for over 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Effective September 2, this acquisition is part of a clear and concrete growth strategy aimed at strengthening<\/p>\n
Saman\u2019s leadership position in interior wood finishing products.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the very beginning, our vision and commitments have been crystal clear: to see Saman become a major<\/p>\n
player in our industry on the North American stage,\u201d continued Mr. Gagnier.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the only Canadian manufacturer fully dedicated to wood finishing products with a presence across the continent, we are more determined than<\/p>\n
ever to win market share, expand our visibility, and reinforce our organization.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the coming days, all Finitec customers will be contacted to ensure a smooth and seamless transition,<\/p>\n
particularly regarding supply and customer service. Production activities will be transferred to Saman\u2019s<\/p>\n
