Montréal, CANADA – Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) and the Fonds de solidarité FTQ have announced a minority investment of $80 million in Triotech, the global leader in immersive and interactive attractions for the entertainment industry.

Triotech designs, manufactures and markets rides that integrate several technologies to deliver a multi-sensorial experience. To date, Triotech products are installed in more than 50 countries across all continents and over 53 million people have experienced them. In 2015, the company revolutionized its industry by developing the Maestro technology, which relies on hand gestures. The rides that integrate this technology are currently being deployed in certain Legoland amusement parks and will be deployed more extensively throughout the world in the years to come.

“This $40-million investment is aligned with our commitment to further the international growth of high-performing Québec businesses that put innovation at the heart of their business plan,” said Christian Dubé, Executive Vice-President, Québec of la Caisse. “With its leading-edge products and creative employees, Triotech is well positioned to benefit from the growth opportunities generated by the significant digital and interactive shift in amusement parks around the world.”

“Triotech is among the innovative companies that do Québec proud on the international stage, and it continues to think big,” said Normand Chouinard, Executive Vice President, Investments at the Fonds de solidarité FTQ. “By taking a stake of $40 million in Triotech, the Fonds will be right there to support the company in its development plan and in so doing, further the creation of quality jobs in a growing industry.”

Ernest Yale, Founder President and CEO of Triotech expressed that he is “very pleased that our vision for the future for Triotech is backed by partners committed to the development of our business and who are among the largest financial institutions in Québec.”

Established in 1999, Triotech has 150 employees distributed between its Montréal head office, its Joliette plant and its U.S. and China offices.
