Supporting manufacturing businesses contributes to economic development in Quebec's regions. That is why the Honourable Greg Fergus, Member of Parliament for Hull–Aylmer, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister and Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board, today announced, on behalf of the Honourable Pascale St‑Onge, Minister of Sport and Minister responsible for CED, a repayable contribution of $266,699 for Rochef Chocolatier inc. This CED support will enable the Gatineau SME to improve its productivity and expand its operations by acquiring manufacturing equipment, all while maintaining its Safe Quality Food certification.
Rochef Chocolatier specializes in manufacturing chocolate products. It has a variety of confections noted for the use of quality chocolate with flavours that combine pleasure with nutritional value. Its products are distributed in fine food shops and pharmacy and food chains. CED's support will focus on the acquisition of automated equipment, including decorator, coating, and dosing machines, as well as fitting out work, and aims to improve the business's productivity and increase its production capacity. The project will enable Rochef Chocolatier to serve new markets.
The Government of Canada recognizes and supports businesses and organizations that are a source of pride in their communities. Quebec's economic recovery relies on organizations with strong roots in the regional economy. They are major contributors to growth, as well as key assets in rebuilding a stronger, more resilient, greener, and more just economy for all.
