Distributions J.R.V. Inc.

Founded in 1946, J.R. Vigneault, a small hardware store, gave way to an industrial dimension in 1952 with the arrival of the mining compagnies along the Quebec North Shore and Labrador.
In 1962, the original building was destroyed by fire and was rebuilt in the same year, doubling its operating area from 1500 to 3000 square feet.
The year 1985 marked the beginning of an industrial vision for the company with the opening of Sanitation Sept-Iles, today a part of Distributions J.R.V.
In 1990, J.R. Vigneault proceded with the expansion of its premises in Sept-Iles, passing 30,000 square feet. The company Equipements Industriels Cartier joined the ranks of J.R. Vigneault in 1991.
In 1996, J.R. Vigneault celebrated its 50th year of business and proceded with the opening of J.R.V. Distributing in Labrador City.
The years 1997 and 1998 brought with them the acquisition of Accessoires Sept-Iles, specializing in wire rope, slings and lifting equipment as well as the opening of HSP Industriel in Havre-St-Pierre. At the same time, J.R.V. Distributing in Labrador City was changed to LPS Distributing.
In February 2000, J.R. Vigneault merged all these industrial distribution compagnies under the name Distributions J.R.V., at the same time keeping their distinct identities.
