The official history of our company began on September 26, 1947, although until that date it was still just an adventure for a group of passionate handymen. With the granting of our operating license under the name Lamarre \u00c9lectrique enr., our real adventure began. Over the years, we have refined our expertise, allowing us to grow and establish ourselves as a one-stop shop offering all the essential divisions to ensure the success of your commercial, industrial, and institutional projects.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
