Mecaer America has announced that it will invest $40.4 million in its Laval facilities to design and manufacture new landing gear for airplanes and helicopters. The company will receive a $5-million loan and a $3-million non-refundable contribution from Investissement Québec.
“The agreement with the Québec government and Investissement Québec confirms that we have chosen the right territory – North America. The world’s largest aerospace market is here, and Mecaer plans to become more and more integrated into it,” said Alberto Ribolla, President, Mecaer Aviation Group.
 
Mecaer America is a subsidiary of the Italian Mecaer Aviation Group, which employs 600 people worldwide. The announced project could potentially lead to the establishment of a new facility in Québec, the group’s future global centre for landing gear.
