History
It all started with a summer job
The actual owner, Pierjean Savard, entered the world of containers through a neighbor entrepreneur who offered him a summer job while he was in high school. Since then, he has never been out of the industry. In 2002, he left his first employer to found Containers Experts with his partner Simon Dagenais.
In its early days, the company rented and sold containers, and then, little by little, the transformation of the containers grew. Today, it sells more than 1,000 containers a year and transforms 250 additional units.
Need space
In 2004, the company rented its first office with a yard to store its containers in Lachine. It is in this same yard that the first containers will be transformed. In 2004, the company now has 4 employees.
We are going west
The year 2007 marks the arrival of the company in Vaudreuil-Dorion. Determined to grow container processing, the company hires its first production employees (welders), who work outside, as at the beginning of Pierjean Savard’s career.
First building
In 2009, two years after working in a construction trailer, the whole team is very happy to be entering its new facilities. The company now has a 6,000 square foot factory. According to its managers “We have too much production space…”
Finally owner
In 2012, C.E. acquires the land right next to its plant. In 2014, the lease ends and the company builds its new plant. Soon, the production space had become too small, so the new plant will have a production floor of 10,000 square feet. “We’ll be good for 10 years…”
Ovation
Following the construction of its new facilities, C.E. decided to participate in the Ovation competition in Vaudreuil-Soulange in the manufacturing category. The submitted project is the very innovative construction and manufacturing of the offices of C.E. which are made from containers. The company wins in this category and the Ovation grand prize of the year. These awards will introduce the company very quickly in the region.
Outstanding Employer Certification
In March 2018, Conteneurs Experts was certified Remarquable Employer, by the Bureau of normalization of Québec. For Pierjean Savard, President of the company, “For several years, I was looking for a way to identify areas for improvement in my company regarding employee engagement, internal practices and productivity. By performing as a Remarkable Employer, our employees and managers are now part of the philosophical and cultural change of the company or we all strive for excellence. Receiving the Remarkable Employer brand is a source of great pride in all our departments and clearly demonstrates that all employees are involved in our organization to create a pleasant workplace, without sacrificing efficiency.”
Retirement of one of the founders
The year 2019 marks the retirement of one of the two founders. Pierjean Savard becomes sole owner following the acquisition of Mr. Dagenais shares.
Expansion of the production plant
Conteneurs Experts is very proud to announce that we are expanding our production facility this fall. As a result, we will double our production area by adding 7,000 sq.ft. “The addition of the 7,000 square feet announced today will allow us to reduce delivery times by 30% to 50%, so we can take new orders. Our goal is obviously to continue our development, to get more orders, but before we had to make sure we had the capacity to do so” Pierjean Savard
