Usine Maxi Métal

Maxi Métal factory in Saint-Georges.

Maxi Métal Inc. is a Canadian fire apparatus manufacturer located in Saint-Georges, Québec, a small town located approximately an hour from Québec City.

History

Maxi-Métal was formed in 1983 and built their first fire truck the following year. From 1986 to 1991, they built approximately two dozen trucks for C.P. Morisette, a Montréal area company. They have built over 500 trucks.

Production

Maxi builds pumpers, tankers and rescues, on both custom and commercial chassis. Almost all of its sales to date have been to fire departments in Québec. Service de Sécurité Incendie Montréal and Service de protection contre les incendies de la Ville de Québec are both customers. They've also rebuilt a number of older rigs.

Maxi Métal has only built a small number of ladders trucks in its history, all with old Thibault ladders reconditioned by CET.
