Frédéric and Nicolas emphasized their employees’ passion and hard work being at the core of this achievement.

“The most important thing, throughout this adventure, is our team! Women and men of passion, who with their dedication make all the difference and render this dream possible!” said Nicolas Touchette during his speech.
