Plastiques Gagnon # Innovation, Quality and Continuous Advancement in Plastic Injection Molding ### News & Updates Discover the latest updates from Plastiques Gagnon: ongoing projects, technological investments, innovations in plastic injection molding, and collaborations with our partners.   This section allows you to follow the evolution of our expertise, industrial capabilities, and our ongoing commitment to quality, performance, and continuous improvement. --- ### **Micro-Molding vs. Conventional Molding: The Revolution of the Infinitely Small** Imagine a world where precision is measured in microns and every detail matters. That’s exactly where micro-molding takes center stage. Unlike its bigger counterpart, conventional injection molding, this advanced technology goes far beyond producing standard plastic parts. It pushes the boundaries of what’s possible by creating microscopic components with astonishing precision—often smaller than a grain of rice. See the difference for yourself. *Published: January 28, 2025* ### **Levis, November 24, 2023** As a major expansion project at its Saint-Jean-Port-Joli headquarters comes to completion, Plastiques Gagnon is moving forward with the construction of a new 35,000 sq. ft. facility in Levis. The objective is to replace and expand the premises currently used following the recent acquisition of Quéplast. This new facility is part of an ambitious four-year investment plan that has already resulted in a 100% increase in production capacity. The new construction alone will generate an additional 20% increase in capacity and will support greater involvement in emerging sectors such as transportation electrification. *Published: November 24, 2023* ### Boreas Project: Another Research Initiative Involving Plastiques Gagnon The Plastiques Gagnon team is proud to collaborate with researchers from the University of Sherbrooke on a research project focused on lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles. The Boreas Project aims to support transportation electrification—an important pillar of the energy transition—where battery efficiency plays a critical role. More specifically, our expertise in plastic materials will be leveraged to develop new technologies designed to improve the thermal management of lithium-ion battery modules. These technological advancements could prove decisive for multiple industries and make a significant contribution to the electrification of transportation. *Published: November 22, 2023* ### Plastiques Gagnon Participates in a Research Project Related to Hydrogen Fuel Cells Plastiques Gagnon is proud to participate in the Alliance NSERC-PRIMA Quebec project, in collaboration with the [Universite de Sherbrooke](https://www.usherbrooke.ca/recherche/), [Universite Laval](https://www.ulaval.ca/), [PRIMA](https://www.prima.ca/), the [Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)](https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/index_fra.asp), and [Nouveau Monde Graphite](https://nmg.com/fr/). This research project aims to develop new composite materials to improve the bipolar plates found in proton exchange membrane hydrogen fuel cells. The objective is to develop more energy-efficient hydrogen fuel cells and make them more accessible to the transportation industry. Plastiques Gagnon is proud to be involved in such a large-scale project and to have the opportunity to collaborate with partners who share a strong commitment to innovation. *Published: September 18, 2023* ### Registration Certificate for Canada’s Controlled Goods Program Plastiques Gagnon Inc. has obtained its registration certificate under Canada’s Controlled Goods Program. This is a national industrial security program administered by Public Services and Procurement Canada. The Program’s objective is to safeguard controlled goods within Canada, prevent unauthorized access to them, and strengthen Canada’s defense trade controls. Controlled goods are items specifically designed or modified for military use. Plastiques Gagnon has been serving the defense market for over 25 years by manufacturing components for non-lethal training munitions. This new certification will enable us to continue serving our current and future customers who require controlled goods compliance. *Published: April 13, 2022* ### A Success Story / Vitalité Économique Discover our success story in the article featured on pages 17 to 23 of Vitalité Économique magazine. [Link](https://flipflashpages.uniflip.com/3/7140/1118925/pub/html5.html#page/1) *Published: July 1, 2021* ### Plastiques Gagnon Acquires Queplast Injection Plastiques Gagnon of St-Jean-Port-Joli acquired Queplast Injection in March 2021. Founded through a partnership with Plastiques Gagnon in 1997, the company is located in St-Romuald and specializes in the manufacturing of injection-molded plastic parts. The integration of Queplast Injection into the Plastiques Gagnon family was a natural step, as both companies share the same values and the same high standards of quality and service. This acquisition propels Plastiques Gagnon into the top ranks of Quebec’s small and medium-tonnage injection molding manufacturers, with 56 presses ranging from 20 to 720 tons. The company can now rely on an experienced team of more than 230 employees. This expansion provides access to new markets, including electronics and the medical sector. Quéplast Injection also features an ISO 7 clean room and specializes in the production of small components using micro-injection processes, achieving dimensional tolerances of ±9 microns. *Published: June 2, 2021* --- #### Discover What Our Clients Say About Us One of the places I enjoyed delivering to the most! … Dany… Antho! 👌 The people who welcome you at unloading… truly friendly folks!
