Quebec manufacturing show about 'change,' speaker says
Quebec’s manufacturing industry needs to boost its market share to survive, according to a French language newspaper columnist set to speak at next week’s Montreal Manufacturing Technology Show.
“In Quebec, we tend to have these dated images of people working behind rows of sewing machines in the textile industry, but the manufacturing sector must adapt to new realities in order to succeed,” said René Vézina, a Les Affaires columnist who scheduled to appear at 9 a.m.May 12. “Now is not the time for manufacturers to reinvent old ways of doing things, but rather, to adopt a whole new manufacturing world that is capable of generating wealth for the province by competing on a global scale.”
