With branches in Drummondville, Victoriaville, Sherbrooke and now Montreal, Techlift is taking a big step towards its goal to cover the entire Quebec territory.

"We are happy to welcome Kevin and the GCS employees to the Techlift family. This is a great day for us, and I thank the team for their confidence. We are looking forward to the success we will have together," says Techlift president Guillaume Joyal.
