Its Services
Contractors receive a
much appreciated support through showrooms which
offer personalized services to their customers,
allowing them to increase their sales of bathroom
fixtures and accessories.
Deschênes Group Inc.'s customers can count
on a team of representatives - salespersons most
of them having sound technical training and a solid
experience.
Deschênes Group Inc.'s outlets make it possible
to cover a broad territory in Québec and
in Ontario. An unequalled and reliable delivery
service and quick order-taking spares the contractors
the need of having to keep large inventories on
building sites. The great quantity of products in
inventory also ensures fast delivery. |

Its feat of arms
As early as 1970, the
company was the instigator of a plumbing and heating
exhibition which became, through the implication
of the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating
(CIPH) and later on that of the Québec Corporation
of Masters Mechanics in Piping (CMMTQ), the "Salon
MECANEX". Since 2003, through the implication
of the Corporation des
entreprises de traitement de l'air et du froid
(CETAF), the exhibition which returns every second
year to Montréal became the "Salon MECANEX-CLIMATEX".
In 1992, within the framework of Montréal's
350th anniversary, the enterprise was selected one
of the 50 companies to which the Journal de Montréal
paid homage. It also was selected "Enterprise
of the Year" within the 1993 Montréal
National Housing Show event.
In 1994, it was selected among 600 companies one
of the 50 best managed private companies in Canada
and requalified in 1995 and 1996, thus reaching
the maximum allowed qualifications.
In 1996, according to the Supply House Times, Deschênes
Group Inc. was designated as the 3rd most important
wholesaler of plumbing and heating products in the
country.
On October 16, 2003, Deschênes Group Inc.
was chosen as recipient of the Ernst & Young's
2003 Québec Entrepreneur Of The Year award
in the category Business-to-Business Products and
Services.
In 2006, Deschênes Group Inc. was ranked 18th by the Supply House Times
out of the 150 first companies in plumbing, industrial
products, PVF (pipes, valves and fittings), hydronics
and HVAC in North America. |
