BACKGROUND
Evidently much has been accomplished since the early days when the fledgling company thrived under the banner Jacques Guay Inc., the founder, in 1971. The days of delivering spare parts in the back of his pickup and operating from the corner of his basement and a small warehouse in Pintendre are long gone.
In fact, 1994 saw the company change its name to Transit Warehouse Inc. and Jacques Guay's son, Stéphane, took over the company and to his credit the company has since grown significantly with annual sales up by a whopping 30% even during recent global economic crisis.
With constantly rising sales came the need to expand Transit's warehousing capabilities. Two different expansions, one in 1996 and another in 1998, proved inadequate to deal with steadily rising sales and the resulting necessity for more and more space. To supply the demand, a second building was added a year later to give Transit a total of 10,000 square feet of storage space. In no time, this too proved inadequate. As proof, even the warehouse of 35,000 square feet occupied by Transit between July 2000 and June 2009 turned out to be too small!
A brand new building of 50,000 square feet on a plot almost 7 times larger was inaugurated in June 2009. The new facilities are at the cutting edge of technology and meet the highest standards with its energy-efficient geothermal system and intelligent lighting.
A computer storage system can handle more than 9000 products. Our development has enabled us to become a member of the Automotive Industries Association of Canada (AIA) and expose us to various events including AAPEX in Las Vegas.
A professional and courteous service is the key to our success, the quality of the services provided depends on what distinguishes a company from others: their employees. Respect and recognition are two values that drive our growth and our performance. If we do not treat our team with the same high attention we treat our customers, Transit would not know such a remarkable history. Today, it’s a hundred people working for you, which ensures quick service that meets your expectations: the best.
