The Quebec Government has committed $1.5 million towards Thomas & Betts’ $19 million modernization of its electrical components manufacturing facility in Saint‑Jean‑sur‑Richelieu, in Quebec’s Montérégie region.

“In a global economy where competition is increasingly intense, our manufacturing companies, such as Thomas & Betts, must invest in the modernization of their manufacturing facilities to make sure to be more productive and competitive. The Quebec Government is proud to support this important project, which will certainly contribute to the growth of our innovative manufacturing sector,” says Dominique Anglade, Minister of the Economy, Science and Innovation.

Founded in 1898 in New York and acquired in 2012 by the ABB group, Thomas & Betts has 50 plants in the United States, Europe, Asia and the Canada.
