This recognition highlights a value that has been at the heart of our company for three generations: prioritizing local sourcing and contributing to the growth of Qu\u00e9bec’s economy.<\/p>\n
Our journey began in March 2025 at the local OSEntreprendre Gala for the MRC of Th\u00e9r\u00e8se-De Blainville. Representing Grillage Bolar, No\u00e9mie Morin and Dylan Beaus\u00e9jour proudly attended the event, where our company was named a finalist in the Doing Business Together category. This award recognizes businesses that prioritize Qu\u00e9bec-based suppliers and demonstrate that it is possible to build a strong, sustainable, and locally driven supply chain. Being named the local winner was already a tremendous honor. It allowed us to advance to the regional competition, where we proudly represented our local community.<\/p>\n
A few weeks later, we received even more exciting news. Grillage Bolar was named the sole regional winner in the Laurentides region in this category, earning a place at the national finals. This achievement represented much more than a competition. It confirmed that our business philosoph, built on long-term relationships with Qu\u00e9bec suppliers, exceptional product quality, and a strong commitment to our community, resonates far beyond our company.<\/p>\n
On June 11, 2025, the National OSEntreprendre Gala took place at the Palais Montcalm in Qu\u00e9bec City. It was with immense pride and emotion that Grillage Bolar was named the National Winner in the Doing Business Together category. This category, introduced as a pilot project five years earlier, was also celebrating its final edition. Being part of the very last cohort and receiving the highest distinction made this achievement even more meaningful for our entire team. Throughout this journey, Grillage Bolar was awarded more than $30,600 in grants and prizes. Beyond the financial support, however, what truly made this experience unforgettable were the inspiring entrepreneurs we met, the meaningful conversations we shared, and the recognition of our commitment to local sourcing.<\/p>\n
At Grillage Bolar, choosing Qu\u00e9bec suppliers is not a marketing strategy. It is a commitment that has been deeply rooted in our family business since 1946. Every local partnership helps strengthen our economy, ensures consistent product quality, and builds lasting relationships built on trust. This philosophy is part of our DNA and continues to guide every decision we make. This national recognition belongs to our entire team, our suppliers, our partners, and our customers who continue to place their trust in a proudly Qu\u00e9bec-based manufacturing company.<\/p>\n
Receiving this award is an incredible privilege, but above all, it motivates us to continue pursuing our mission. To everyone who has supported us throughout this journey, thank you for believing in us. This national recognition reminds us that by staying true to our values, it is possible to make a local company shine across Qu\u00e9bec and beyond.
\nAnd this is only the beginning.<\/p>\n
