$9.5-Million Investment in Montreal-Mirabel: Aeroports de Montreal to Accommodate Aerolia in New Custom-Built Facility
(firmenpresse) - MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 09/27/13 -- Editor's Note: A photo is associated with this press release.
During a cornerstone-laying ceremony held today at Montreal-Mirabel International Airport, Aeroports de Montreal (ADM) announced that it will invest $9.5 million in a new custom-built facility for leading French aerostructure firm Aerolia. The firm, a member of the EADS Group, will use the facility to produce the equipped centre fuselage for Bombardier's Global 7000(i) and 8000(i) business jets.
"Aeroports de Montreal offered to provide Aerolia with a turnkey facility to help the company establish its operations in Quebec. In addition to the site's inherent advantages, the offer was instrumental in Aerolia's decision to open its first North American factory in Montreal-Mirabel's industrial park," said Henri-Paul Martel, Vice-President, Planning, Engineering and Construction, ADM.
Aerolia will lease the facility under an initial 15-year agreement, with the option to renew for three further five-year periods. With a surface area of 7,300 square metres, the building will house the head office of Aerolia's Canadian subsidiary, as well as manufacturing workshops, a warehouse and logistics area.
ADM has commissioned Syscomax Construction, a Quebec contractor with a well-established record at Mirabel, to complete the project according to the design-build model. This model was favoured over the traditional sequential model, primarily to save time. The facility is expected to be completed by early February 2014. In addition to financing the project, ADM will oversee quality control and workplace safety during construction on the site.
Aerolia's move to Montreal-Mirabel will create some 150 jobs at the airport and strengthen its position as a world-class aerospace hub. Montreal-Mirabel is already home to a number of major aerospace industry players, including Bombardier Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, L-3 MAS, Mecachrome, Safran, Avianor et Nolinor.
