Our history

LabTech was founded in 1988 by Jean-Pierre Daoust and Joe Gallo. The company started out in a modest 3,000-square-foot facility in Montreal, where it focused on distribution. In the early 1990s, the business began manufacturing devices. In 2003, the company moved into a larger 25,000-square-foot plant in Laval, Québec.

Although Daoust retired a few years ago, his engagement with the company continues. He visits Laval regularly, maintaining friendly ties with the current team. The team appreciates his dedication and is thankful for his role in founding the company.
