Armed with their expertise and shared passion for the crane industry, three brothers\u2014\u00c9ric<\/strong>, St\u00e9phane<\/strong>, and Pascal<\/strong>\u2014founded Grues J.M. Francoeur<\/strong> in August 2004. Their love of work, entrepreneurial spirit, and vision of excellence were instilled in them by their father, Jean-Marc. Having run a crane company for many years, he proved to be a true mentor to his sons, passing on the values that are now at the heart of the company: integrity, trust, determination, and respect. It is in his honor that the three entrepreneurs included the initials \u201cJM\u201d in the company name.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
