MONTRÉAL, Aug. 21, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED)

Businesses need to be able to rely on adequate resources to create and commercialize innovative products. The Government of Canada is committed to supporting innovative Canadian enterprises. As a true economic driver, innovation is the key to success because it generates growth that benefits businesses and communities.

Acting on behalf of the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for CED, Emmanuella Lambropoulos, Member of Parliament for Saint-Laurent, announced that the Société d'Outillage M.R. Ltée (S.O.M.R.) has been granted $650,000 in financial assistance, in the form of a repayable contribution, for the acquisition of equipment that will help the business increase productivity and continue to expand.

Founded in 1971, S.O.M.R. is an innovative SME that specializes in precision machining and custom parts and tooling manufacturing for the aerospace industry. The funding awarded through CED's Quebec Economic Development Program (QEDP) will enable the corporation to acquire two CNC machining centres and a measurement and inspection arm.
