the Mauricie region said, “Hason’s operation of a storage and assembly unit in Trois-Rivières will stimulate the local and
regional economy and create quality jobs in the Mauricie region. I am therefore very proud that our
Government supports such a project and this shows the importance of the Port of Trois-Rivières
as the economic engine of the Mauricie region.”
“As a key player in the development of the industrial-port zone of Trois-Rivières, we are proud of
this new partnership with Hason. Thanks to this project, the port and the city of Trois-Rivières will
benefit from an increased international influence, which will bring significant benefits to our
community. The Government of Québec, the City of Trois-Rivières, Innovation and Economic

contribution to the realization of this major project,” said Gaétan Boivin, President and CEO of the Port of Trois-Rivières
