Our marketing challenge
In the 70's, it was obvious that a company such as ours required professional representation within the Québec market to expand and become the market leader.

In essence, to penetrate and secure a profitable market share in Québec would require more in-depth coverage in the territory. So the idea, at the time, was to find representation in Québec that would market our products more effectively to all our Québécois customers.

It all began in 1978
In 1978, we decided to have Pierre Dowd represent us. Since then, Desdowd's own growth and evolution has perfectly matched both our product line expansion and diversification to meet our own customers' changing requirements.

As our full-service representative agency, Desdowd handles all sales responsibilities and acts as our Québec marketing consultant. The joint goal here is to make sure that the right promotions are generated, implemented professionally, and followed up successfully.

A win-win situation
Desdowd has built a long-standing relationship and reputation with all electrical distributors in Québec, whether they are major corporations or independent entrepreneurs. The major reason is the Desdowd team conducts business with honesty, integrity, and professionalism.

In the end Desdowd creates a win-win situation for all parties.

Congratulations Pierre and Pat!
40 years of sales success confirms your recognition with the Quebec electrical industry. This truly is the foundation of future accomplishments.
