Tripar is excited to announce that last month’s Open House celebrating our 70th 
anniversary was a great success!
On Sept 24th, we had the pleasure of welcoming Tripar’s founder and our president’s father, Ben Sevack, as well as the entire Sevack family during our first day! Ben & Lloyd cut the cake together to symbolize the strong bond that binds both to Tripar and theirselves.
We were also honored to receive Rivière-des-Prairies’ Mayor, Caroline Bourgeois, Karim Elfilali from the City of Montreal, Simon Gaudreault and Marie Quesnel from CFIB, who were all present during our festivities.
Many of our clients took part in the event, visiting us from across Canada and the United States.
During the 3 day-event, Tripar’s management and staff were happy to give tours of the factory, explaining what we do and demonstrating their passion for our facility and operations!
Our 70th anniversary celebration also marked Tripar’s longevity, as Mr. Gaudreault declared: “Today is very hard to find such a long-lived company in the Quebec area”. We agree and couldn’t be happier to be so well supported by our clients, partners and community.
Tripar has expanded its metal fabrication capabilities over the years with a CNC laser, several CNC Press Breaks, and just last year a brand new CNC Punch/Laser Combination Machine. This incredibly versatile machine often permits the complete processing of workpieces, since many features can be achieved in a single operation; not only punching & laser cutting, but also tapping, forming, bending, extruding, marking of components, and more!
The machine is focused on between the time segment 0:20 to 0:45.
Please click here to watch more Tripar’s videos on our YouTube channel.
To fully benefit from this machine’s amazing design and manufacturing possibilities, we have produced our CNC Punch/Laser Design Guide, permitting you unlock its true potential. Please click here to download it.
In fact, some of you have had your parts quoted and produced on this machine without even knowing it; a testament to its competitiveness, versatility, and precision!
1949-2019: Tripar, your trusted partner for 70 years and counting…
2019 marks Tripar’s 70th anniversary! Lloyd Sevack, President has written an open letter to mark the milestone.
To all our valued customers,
When can a company be called a legacy? If longevity and reputation are two measures, I think that Tripar can claim such status. Having been founded in 1949 by my uncle, David, and my Dad, Ben Sevack, my entry into the business in 2001, and the third-generation present, with my daughter, Lauren, Director of Human Resources, this year, 2019, marks our 70th anniversary!
Much has changed since Tripar’s founding, from a rented space with 3 employees and a few presses….Please click here to continue reading the full letter.
