The story of Tendances Concept began with Denis Cadieux and Robert Sigouin founding the company in 1979. Then known as Les Ateliers de bois 80, it manufactured kitchen units for the residential, commercial and institutional markets.
In 1992, the company moved to new premises in St-Jérôme just off the Highway 15. This would be the opportunity to innovate and set up a showroom adjoining a fabrication plant.
In 1996, the organization diversified its activities to meet growing market demand. It refurbished its showroom to allow customers to see the infinite possibilities for layout and design, as well as the talents of our designers and artisans. As part of this makeover, it adopted the name “Tendances Concept”, which better reflects its distinctive character and upscale positioning.
In 2004, a fire totally destroyed the premises. It was at that time that a new shareholder, Diane Commerford, decided to get together with the Tendances Concept team to rebuild the organization and revitalize its development strategy. Becoming unprecedentedly successful, the company bought a 45,000 sq. ft. plant at Berthierville, increasing its total capacity to 65,000 sq. ft.
The year 2009 marked a new turning point for the organization when it opened a new showroom in Montreal, in the heart of the Plateau, called "Collection St-Laurent".
