Our story

FIRST STEPS INTO THE GLASS INDUSTRY

The story of our company begins in 1986. Patrick was hired by a Boucherville glass shop to work as an installer. He worked there for three years before becoming a co-owner. Over time, Patrick has refined his expertise and built up both his clientele and his team.

DECISIVE MOMENT

Raphaël and Mathieu Bouffard, Patrick’s sons, joined the company in 2005. Determined to offer faster turnarounds and even better quality, the two entrepreneurs purchased new equipment, rethought how they did things and fine-tuned their organization. The results? Amazing.

FABRICATION

With the ability to offer our services to more and more customers, without ever compromising our quality or turnaround times, the idea of fabricating glass for customers started to take hold. As a result, we moved away from installations and integrated the fabrication of indoor glass as a core service and pillar of our growth. We decided to focus on the glass contractor market.

While repositioning our business, we acquired the equipment of Studio des Verriers and officially became Groupe SVR. This strategic decision has proven to be quite rewarding, as our orders have increased exponentially ever since.

MAJOR MOVE

To support our growth, we moved to a larger office in Boucherville in January 2020. This location allows us to operate more smoothly and build a bigger team. Since we are now better equipped, our team can work more efficiently. Making the most of our workspace also allows us to increase our production capacity.

DIGITIZATION

In our pursuit of innovation, we partnered up with a robot manufacturer to develop a line of robotics with cutting-edge technology that has never been seen in North America.

With robotics, we can now streamline our production and offer even better quality to our customers. This is what makes us stand out in the industry. It’s also what drives our company’s strong growth.

For us, the Industry 4.0 era has begun in earnest with the integration of ERP systems and the automation of many key production steps.

INVESTING IN THE FUTURE

Every year, we invest in training and the quality of our equipment. This way, we can provide you with only the very best products. Adopting this strategy also means that we can offer you the best of everything, from faster turnaround times to greater reliability and a richer customer experience.

For us, changing constantly for the better is more than a story — it’s our philosophy.
