Again this year, Commonwealth Plywood Distribution was a proud sponsor of the event.

The 37th edition of the Association of Manufacturers and Retailers of the Quebec Kitchen Industry (AFDICQ) took place at the Hilton Hotel in Quebec City on October 23rd and 24th. Again this year, the convention was attended by a large number of participant, thus beating the previous record of 450 people.

Attendees, distributors and suppliers who represent the kitchen industry in Quebec, were able to enjoy several activities including an industrial visit to the Armoires de cuisine Bernier facilities and the newly inaugurated Videotron Center. Spouses were able to enjoy a guided tour of the city and relax at the spa. The participants appreciated the diversity of the program.

The suppliers were able to chat with the attendees while presenting their new products for 2016. We did show the newly added colours and finishes to the Egger collection as well as new door products. On the second night, we were happy to be the first to host the Hospitality Suite experience. Having cocktails while chatting with our guests was fun. The view of Quebec city was magnificent.

For the last day, the attendees got an overview of the Quebec’s kitchen industry market analysis that was done for the AFDICQ’s members. Artists from the LNI improvisation league gave an excellent performance with their recapitulative sketches of the information provided. The following speaker was Sylvain Guimond, and he gave an inspiring speech of success, a question of attitude.

The President’s Banquet and the closing ceremony on the theme of Saturday Night Fever allowed the guests to enjoy disco music and colourful costumes.
