STIQ’s Buyer/Supplier day features top OEMs

This annual gathering, attended by more than 300 decision-makers every year, will take place at the Hôtel Mortagne in Boucherville on Thursday October 20 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Set up in speed-dating style, this unique formula gives SMEs the opportunity to introduce their products and services directly to the major Québec and foreign companies attending the event. Nearly 400 business meetings, planned ahead of time according to the prime manufacturers' subcontracting needs and the suppliers' capacities, will be held during the event.

"We have seen concrete results at the last four editions, and purchase orders can be signed on site. That day, we make every effort to help prime manufacturers and suppliers do business efficiently," explains Normand Voyer, Executive Vice-President of STIQ.
