Montel Celebrates 85Th Anniversary
Montel, a pioneer of high-density mobile storage shelving system solutions for office, institutional and industrial applications, is pleased to announce that 2009 marks the 85th anniversary of the company. From its foundation in 1924 as an industrial power component supplier, to the development of a leading manufacturer of versatile storage products, Montel has a heritage of design innovation and customer-centered solutions.
“I am honored to celebrate this anniversary,” said Michel Doucet, President and CEO of Montel. “As we celebrate our 85th anniversary, I want to thank our many customers, dealers and suppliers who have helped make Montel successful over the long term”. “Most importantly, the dedication and creativity of our people, who embrace our corporate culture.”
Prior to becoming in North America a leading manufacturer of high-density mobile shelving storage systems, Montel acquired nearly 40 years' experience in the electrical industry, including extensive involvement in the construction of generating stations and power grids for major world leading hydroelectricity plants.
From the manufacturing of bicycle stands to electrical flip-flop toasters in the 1930's, from its first involvement in cantilever library shelving applications in 1955 to the acquisition of the assets of Art Metal Inc. of New Jersey in 1986, Montel became fully devoted to high-density mobile storage systems.
As Montel now manufactures all of its mobile and stationary shelving units, filing systems, industrial mobile carriages, art racks, moveable pull-out storage panels, accessories and cabinets for multimedia storage, museum storage and much more, Montel’s offer is total.

Member of the Canada Green Building Council, Montel recognizes the importance of manufacturing upscale products that meet and exceed environmental standards while focusing on green-building initiatives that contribute to a more sustainable workspace environment.
