LJL MÉCANIQUE INC., A PROJECT THAT BECAME BIG
The beginning
of adventure
1993
LJL Mécanique Électrique was born from a joint project between Louison Jalbert and Jacques Lafrenière, in Jacques' garage in Authier, Abitibi-Ouest. These two former mechanics began offering mining equipment reconditioning services in 1993, following layoffs within the underground division of the Selbaie mine.
Moving to Sainte-Germaine-Boulé
1994
Building on their popularity, Louison and Jacques chose to relocate to Sainte-Germaine-Boulé in 1994 to gain access to larger premises. The offices and production workshop are still located there today.
Nouvelle génération, même passion
2007
Growing interest in the company's services has led to new members joining the team, including Gino, Dominic, and Marc Trudel, who took over in 2007 following the retirement of Louison and Jacques. With their knowledge, attentiveness, and hard work, the Trudels continue to uphold the values of transparency and honesty established by the founders.
Our team today
2025
LJL Mécanique now has 230 qualified and carefully selected employees. They work in its workshop or at various mining sites across the country. Their professionalism allows us to strengthen our footprint in the industry every day.
PROUD PARTNERS OF THE FIRST NATIONS
Our commitment to supporting the mining industry is boundless, and we are excited to expand our horizons and develop our bonds of trust with Canada's First Nations. In partnership with our ally, Métal Marquis, these enriching relationships have, to date, led to the creation of the joint ventures Nagjuk in Nunavut, Tuugaak in Nunavik, Utaashkinh in Northern Quebec, and Migizi in Abitibi-Témiscamingue.
THE MANIK FAMILY
The Manik family is the majority shareholder of Nagjuk. Joe Manik and his children, King, Doreen, and Lundy, are well known in Nunavut communities as they also operate Arctic Traders, a heating and ventilation maintenance company. Nagjuk means "panache" in Inuktitut. This name was coined by Joe and, unsurprisingly, reflects the importance hunting holds within the family!
THE TUUGAAK COMMUNITY
Located in Nunavik, Tuugaak is majority-owned by Jobie Tukkiapik. Born in Kuujjuaq, a community of 2,300 people on the banks of the Koksoak River, Jobie was twice elected president of the Makivik Corporation, which represents the 14 Inuit communities located in Northern Quebec. In addition to being president of Tuugaak, Jobie is the director of human resources development at the Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services (NRHSS).
MIGZI
MIGIZI is majority-owned by Anna and Alex Mapachee, members of the Abitibiwinni First Nation of Pikogan. Anna Mapachee is deeply committed to education and the equal sharing of knowledge. She co-founded the Ok8api circle at the University of Montreal, where she has long led workshops. A speaker and teacher of the Anicinabe language at various institutions, she is committed to raising awareness of the realities and challenges facing First Nations people. Alex Mapachee has worked in the forestry and mining industries for several years, both as an operator and as a site foreman. He also owns an excavation company.
