In the spring of 1994, then 22 years old, self-taught, go-getter and with a few years of experience in the small cleaning company of his father Richard, Éric Pichette thought big and offered to take over. He gathers his modest savings and seeks the support of his banker who, admiring his determination, will not hesitate to support his project, which is mainly focused on growth through marketing and the diversification of services. It was from that moment that the Qualinet business that we know today really got off the ground.
Leveraging his flair and his unusual marketing instinct, Éric Pichette quickly conquered insurers and disaster victims to impose the Qualinet brand in Quebec, then in Montreal. He will later open branches on the South Shore of Montreal, in Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Rimouski, Baie-Comeau, and Sept-Îles.
Now president of a very large-scale company frequently solicited by investors, in 2009 he launched a network of franchises which allows him to now be present throughout Quebec under various banners. To clean, wash, stain, dry, decontaminate and so much more, Qualinet is the leader everywhere in Quebec!
A RESPONSIBLE COMPANY
Every year, Qualinet supports a number of worthy causes and activities aimed at improving the quality of life of our community.
Many respected foundations, especially those helping sick and disadvantaged children, can count on our discreet but tangible support. This one, although tangible, is most often discreet.
Considering the extent of our network, you can guess that we receive a multitude of requests and that we often have to make heart-wrenching choices. That being said, we do our best to contribute to the success of recognized causes with measurable impact.
