After five years, he was confident that the sector would develop to the point of being able to sustain a business specializing in motor tune-ups and electrical systems.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He married Monique Leclerc in 1949, soon after which the couple welcomed son Roger in August 1950, making the decision even weightier. Aurel also had to find financing and a location for his new business. Definitely not short on work ethic, he was convinced he would succeed. Those who knew him well knew he didn\u2019t need help from anyone in that department!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The problem of where to open the business was resolved when a 1,144-ft<sup>2 <\/sup>(22 x 52 ft, 106 m<sup>2<\/sup>) former machine shop on rue des Cascades was put up for rent by the owner, Victor Saint\u2011Amand. On the financial side, a $900 loan enabled Aurel to buy an old army Jeep, which he repurposed as a utility truck. He bought his equipment ($4,000) and materials ($6,000) on credit, a burden he decided he could live with, convinced it would only be a matter of time before he could repay the loan\u2014which goes to show how confident he was in his decision!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eddad16 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"eddad16\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d440d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6d440d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">An immediate success<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a5d2bf e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7a5d2bf\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f01da1c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f01da1c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b15898 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4b15898\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Aurel had analyzed the market accurately, because just three weeks after opening, he had to hire three men to help him keep up with the demand.

The working conditions were not always ideal: \u201cWe sometimes had to work outside,\u201d recalls Aurel, \u201ceither because the vehicle was too big for the garage or because there was just no room!\u201d This was definitely a challenge given our climate, and there was no option to expand because of the homes and warehouses, including manufacturer Fen\u00eatres Cayouette, located on the corner of Cascades and Vaudreuil.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d9ef86 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8d9ef86\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0da64c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a0da64c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Finally, a place to call home!<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2a2b7b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f2a2b7b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8fc43bb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8fc43bb\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21112cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"21112cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One year later, a space became available at 540 Vaudreuil, an L-shaped building with an additional 1,560 ft<sup>2 <\/sup>(52 x 30 ft, 145 m<sup>2<\/sup>) of surface area. Then, in 1953, Aurel bought the property located at 550 Vaudreuil, a warehouse previously used by G\u00e2teaux Vachon, adding 3,360 ft<sup>2 <\/sup>(42 x 80 ft, 312\u00a0m<sup>2<\/sup>) to his existing space. However, this new space was quickly filled up with extra equipment and materials after Maska Auto Electric (which became Groupe Maska Inc. in August 1977, subsequent to Bill 101) was named the authorized South Shore distributor for AC DELCO-GM in 1954. Under this contract, Aurel\u2019s business was responsible for supplying GM dealers and independent garages with the electrical parts needed for tune-ups.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then, in the late 1960s, Fen\u00eatres Cayouette moved to the industrial park, freeing up a 4,550\u2011ft<sup>2<\/sup> (65 x 70 ft, 425 m<sup>2<\/sup>) warehouse that we rushed to buy to meet our growing need for space. And the move was a quick one\u2014virtually all we needed to do was make a hole in the adjoining wall!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The final expansion was achieved through the purchase of former tanners Duclos et Payan. \u201cThe building where they worked the leather was in good shape, but most of the yard was riddled with pits used to treat the skins. We had to do a major clean-up and fill in all the pits. Not even the water tower remained standing! A little dynamite in the right place and it was ancient history,\u201d recalls Aurel. Again, a hole in the wall was all it took to move into the new space, which was fitted out to meet the needs of the new diesel and emergency generators departments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the early 1990s, warehouses were built (11,136 ft<sup>2<\/sup> or 1,035 m<sup>2<\/sup>) to hold heavy equipment (motors and generators), and in 1998, 12 additional service bays (12,500 ft<sup>2<\/sup> or 1,161 m<sup>2<\/sup>) were built for diesel trucks, for a total of 16 out of 22 bays. Finally, an adjacent space was adapted to hold automotive paint products, rounding out the Groupe Maska facilities in Saint-Hyacinthe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After a land exchange negotiated with the City, Groupe Maska owned 75,000\u00a0ft<sup>2 <\/sup>(close to 7,000\u00a0m<sup>2<\/sup>) of buildings and warehouses, on a total of 180,105 ft<sup>2<\/sup> (17,051 m<sup>2<\/sup>) of land.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-89a2624 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"89a2624\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-778c49b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"778c49b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Generators\u2026<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ddd7924 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ddd7924\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f5491e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5f5491e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4896f79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4896f79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The business did very well in Saint-Hyacinthe. Each winter, Aurel travelled to Anderson, Indiana (home of DELCO Remy), to take specialized courses in order to stay on top of the rapidly changing automotive industry. On his return, he would pass on his new knowledge to his customers, for example, in the case of generators being replaced by alternators. \u201cOf course, these were two very different parts, but they did the same job,\u201d remembers Aurel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Over the years, there have been generators made to cover all needs and requirements, from one to 1 million watts. \u201cIn the 1960s,\u201d Aurel reminisces, \u201cthe big innovation was the installation of powerful generators in hospitals, water treatment plants, schools, prisons, and public buildings.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This activity sector peaked during the ice storm of 1998, when, for close to a month, most of the Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie region\u2014Groupe Maska\u2019s immediate territory\u2014was plunged into total darkness. The company was called upon to meet a wide variety of needs (industrial, institutional, commercial, residential, etc.), as well as perform a steady stream of repairs on emergency equipment that had never before been used so heavily or for such an extended period of time. A team of 35\u00a0mechanics specialized in gas, diesel, and natural gas motors were at the ready to serve customers. In addition, a number of generators were installed on trailers that were made available for rent.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f9fba5 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3f9fba5\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5572f04 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5572f04\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\u2026and diesel!<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cbd22d4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cbd22d4\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e16a5af e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e16a5af\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ea0c54 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8ea0c54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>During the 1960s, the development of diesel engines led to the addition of an injection facility (1968), where we repaired diesel fuel pumps and injectors using leading-edge technology that has continued to evolve ever since, such that this facility is now the most advanced in the province.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The quality of our staff and facilities is recognized across the industry.
