WHY US
History
Usinage Marcotte inc. was established in 1992 by Mr. Hugues Marcotte. Located in Barraute, the company included Mr. Gabriel Marcotte (father), his son Hugues and two employees. Operating from a 2,000 sq. ft. workshop, the small company strived to provide machining, welding and manufacturing services for the forestry, mining and agriculture industries.
In 1995, the workshop was relocated in Val-d’Or to increase its floor surface to 4000 sq. ft, thus allowing Usinage Marcotte Inc. to better serve its ever-growing customer base.
In 2002, the workforce had reached a total of 18 full-time employees in addition to a complete field crew of 16 workers providing on-site support to customers and the company had started supplying the diamond drill industry with customized parts and equipment.
By 2012, the company had expanded its facility twice to reach a work surface of 15,000 sq. ft, built a 3,000 sq. ft paint shop and acquired a new 5,000 sq. ft building to centralize its machining division. With 60 employees working in the technical department, a growing administration team and an impressive team of welders, machinists and mechanics, the company had acquired sophisticated machine tools and a large plasma cutting table amongst other equipment.
Today, Usinage Marcotte Inc has 63 permanent employees working in five different buildings: a 15,000 sq ft building housing the administrative headquarters, the main welding facility and the warehouse; a 13,800 sq. ft welding shop; a 5,000 sq ft machining facility, a 5,000 sq ft facility for assembling, testing and developing products; and a 3,000 sq. ft paint shop.
