About us
History
Permafil was founded in 1989 by a Quebec entrepreneur, who envisioned to become a major player in the manufacture of home storage products.
Thirty years later, Permafil is the only wire shelving manufacturer in Canada. We have extended its expertise into various categories of products and services. Permafil is a dominant player in eastern Canada in the manufacturing and installation of wire shelving, partitions and wire mesh storage systems, bicycle racks, melamine storage shelving and furniture, and commercial displays.
A change in shareholding occurred in 2009—and we are proud that Permafil is still owned by local entrepreneurs. It is active primarily in the construction world in which it is recognized as a reliable partner manufacturing and installing quality products and providing first-class service through a professional team devoted to customer satisfaction.
Permafil works with the biggest players in the construction industry in Quebec and eastern Ontario in the vast majority of multi-unit condo, rental or retirement home construction projects. Permafil also serves several major players in the hardware market and also sells on the web through its www.wallysystem.com online store.
In addition, the commercial display unit division has enjoyed significant success for several years with major manufacturers who, together with Permafil, develop merchandising and display solutions for their products throughout North America.
Permafil’s management is determined to maintain the sustained sales growth it has enjoyed in recent years, and is constantly working to develop new products and markets to ensure the company’s growth and sustainability.
