Association with Groupe CADEC

Dear Sir, Madam,

It is with great pleasure and pride that I would like to announce to you, on behalf of CIM Inc., our association with Groupe CADEC effective April 18th, 2005.  We have decided to join this firm that specializes in industrial automation, while continuing to serve our customers as we have done in the past.  This association will allow the clients of both companies to benefit from a wider range of expertise and a diverse selection of products and services.

Groupe CADEC has their head office in Sherbrooke and a second office in Laval to serve the Montreal area.  With over 65 employees, mostly technicians and engineers, we offer engineering and fabrication services as well as turnkey projects.  Our three main markets are food processing, pharmaceutical and manufacturing.

We truly believe this merger will provide a fresh impetus to our activities and will give access to a wider variety of services to address all of your needs.  Please be assured of our continued support of our products.
