Our client Globocam – the largest network of heavy truck dealerships in Quebec, chose our turnkey service to set up their new dealership in Montreal East.
The challenge:
Globocam needed to optimize the space in their new branch by equipping their service and parts departments, because – in their words:
“Globocam is still expanding and it was important to grow and have a branch that met our customers’ needs – more service bays to repair trucks, larger inventories to service our customers…”
- Fit out the service department with 32 ergonomic workstations
- Choose, supply and install efficient and robust warehousing and storage systems for the parts department
- Arrange high-density storage spaces with drawers in shelves
- While adapting to the changing needs of a construction site in progress
- Dealing with supply chain disruptions.
The solution :
Following consultations on their premises by our project manager Pier-Olivier, our client chose our specialized industrial quality solutions.
They appreciated our turnkey service, from consultation to installation, as well as the expertise of our Pedlex project management specialists:
For the service department:
- To allow the technicians to work ergonomically, 32 GT general technician workstations by Rousseau métal: laced in a V-shape to facilitate the smooth movement of trucks, measuring 102″W x 27″D x 39″H with stainless steel tops, power modules, modular cabinets.
- 7 heavy-duty drawers (capacity of 400lb each), a Multitek cart and wall-mounted computer cabinets.

The Testimonial
” The old Anjou branch had become much too small for our needs. So, we decided to open a new branch in Montreal East – which has been in place since January 2022.
We chose to do business with Pedlex for all these novelties, which I had known for quite a long time. Although I did business with other suppliers, I chose Pedlex because I had ideas how I wanted to do this. The Pedlex project manager listened to me, and he brought me ideas to make it even better than I had thought. It was a team effort between Globocam and Pedlex to achieve this beautiful result.
The experience of working with Pedlex has been very good – throughout the adventure which lasted 2 years because of the pandemic, we had changes. Each time, Pedlex adjusted, so did I. After that, when we got to the installation stage, they regularly contacted me to see if everything was correct. I came to do site visits and everything met my needs. And when I saw something that wasn’t working, we immediately managed to rectify the situation.
Since January 2022, I can confirm that what we have started with Pedlex meets the needs, everything has been well thought out and well done. It was a success to have done business with Pedlex. “
