SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS POLITICAL QUALITY AWARDS AND RECOGNITION Home / COMPANY / HISTORY In 1973, VIF began its mold manufacturing activities in an area of 1,800 square feet. Gradually, the managers saw the need to carry out their own mold testing and offer the injection molding service. In 1980, VIF moved into new premises and acquired 4 injection presses. Three years later, a strong expansion in the molding sector forced the injection department to move to larger premises. Four new injection presses are added to the existing machines. In 1986, the mold manufacturing workshop and the injection molding department were reunited in the building located in Saint-Hyacinthe. CONSTANTLY EVOLVING In 1999, always keen to meet and exceed the expectations and requirements of its customers, the company registered with the standard. Three years later, it has 15 injection presses, including 3 robotic cells and modern mold design and manufacturing facilities. A new 80,000 square foot factory was built in 2005. The following year, Thierry Carrière acquired the company. In 2008, the sister company (Carvin) was created, adding the pool products business. FROM 2012 TO TODAY In 2012, 40,000 ft² was added to the plant, for a total of 120,000 ft². Three years later, the company Armotec is bought, marking the beginning in the sector of furniture and office products. In 2015, VIF has 23 injection presses from 40 to 2,000 tonnes and is in operation 3 shifts, 6 days a week, 24 hours a day.
