Julien sold small kitchen accessories to restaurants and religious communities in the Québec City area. Their need for equipment like shelving and steam tables led Mr. Julien to open his first factory, which he ran until his death in 1973. 1967 Major expansion The company landed a huge contract: providing kitchen equipment for Montreal’s Expo 67. This highly successful project gave Julien global visibility and established its reputation as a serious, efficient company. Other large contracts followed, with restaurant chains like St-Hubert, Normandin and Saint-Germain seeking Julien’s services. 1973 Julien stands out in Quebec Upon the death of its founder in 1973, the company was purchased by Somesco Inc. Over the next few years, Julien participated in major development projects in Quebec, like the Olympic stadium in Montreal and the creation of hydroelectric power plants in James Bay. 1978 Developing new markets To support its constant growth, Julien moved to a 50,000 sq. ft. factory and opened its marketing department. The company already had a strong presence in Quebec, so it decided to start conquering new markets. Through its two affiliates, which distribute specific stainless-steel products, it carved out a place in Ontario and the Maritimes, followed by Western Canada. 1987 A technological shift Mr. Berthier Chénard purchased the company in 1987. Design and management activities were computerized, production activities were automated and the plant acquired a laser cutter. Julien acquired a large contract with National Defence to create the kitchens for the Borden and Trenton military bases. 1990 Intensification We were given more opportunities to demonstrate our skills: Julien was part of the Molson Centre (Montreal) and SkyDome (Toronto) projects, now known as the Bell and Rogers centres, respectively. In 1994, Julien created its industrial subcontracting division and started creating stainless steel parts for companies like Bombardier, Prévost Car and Steris. 1995 Strategic shift In 1995, Julien was acquired by several of its executives, including Gilles St-Pierre, its current president. Over the next decade, the company’s revenue grew by 400%. In 1996, Julien celebrated its 50th anniversary with major festivities. 2003 Launch of Home Refinements In 2003, the company launched Home Refinements par Julien, a brand of high-quality sinks and accessories for residential kitchens. Julien signature kitchens have become indispensable for many world-renowned chefs. In particular, we have designed kitchens for famous restaurants like Nobu, Buddakan and Morimoto. 2010 Diversification The company’s purchase of Doyon Cuisine in 2010 was a nod to its founder, who sold kitchen accessories to restaurant owners in the late 1940s. Major projects during this period included work for Harvard University, GAP’s headquarters, and even the support for the Olympic torch during the Vancouver 2010 games. 2013 Launch of Prochef In 2013, Julien launched a range of modern sinks and accessories: Prochef par Julien. It remained an important supplier for the food services industry, working with clients like Eataly, Héma-Québec, Ripley’s Aquarium and the St. Joseph’s Hospital. 2017 Facilities upgrade Julien invested more than 4 million dollars over two years to modernize its facilities. This included adding a custom-made automated loading system to meet Julien’s needs. A world-premiere of its kind! 2018 Nomination of Carl-David Belley After more than 10 years at the company and a truly remarkable career path, Carl-David Belley took over as the CEO.
