Savons Evy Inc. is a manufacturer of industrial and commercial cleaning supplies. Its product range includes hand soaps (creams, lotions and powders), floor care, laundry and all-purpose cleaners and general and automotive maintenance supplies.
Founded by Yves Messier in 1963, Savon Evy expanded through mergers with Pursan and Vitex to be incorporated in 1981 under the name Savon Evy Inc. Following in his father’s entrepreneurial footsteps, Dominic Messier now manages the family business.
Over the past two years, Savons Evy Inc. has experienced exceptional growth, posting a 20% increase in sales. Dominic Messier attributes this result to the strategic reorientation of the firm’s activities toward its primary market and the resulting alignment of its product range.
Thanks to its niche products, the company focuses primarily on two distinct industries: automotive and tourism accommodation. The latter makes up a significant share of the company’s market, accounting for stable sales throughout the year and serving as a counterbalance to its seasonal products. The firm is also well known for its Tor-Do chamois wringer. The Tor-Do trademark was registered in September 2006. Savons Evy Inc. is the only company in Quebec to assemble and sell this product, which is used by hand car washes throughout the province. Committed to quality service, the company recently carried out a customer survey that reported a satisfaction rate of more than 80%. The company also emphasizes good environmental practices, which include the following measures:
1- 95% of products manufactured and sold by Savons Evy Inc. are biodegradable.
2- Most of its 20 L and 205 L containers can be returned to the company to promote sustainable development.
Dominic Messier intends to continue developing the company and has plans to export his Tor-Do chamois wringer within a year. With products already available in Quebec, the Maritime Provinces and Ontario, efforts are currently underway to develop exports to the United States and France. Continued growth and longevity are the goals of these activities. The company has come a long way since its launch in Yves Messier’s basement in the 1960s. Today, Dominic Messier is perfectly positioned to ensure a profitable future for Savons Evy Inc.
