Where it all begins!

Éric Veilleux and Maxime Tremblay founded Maerix and incorporated the company. Their motivation was to provide management solutions for hazardous materials that are efficient, simple and ingenious, as no other organization does.

2000
Up & Running in Saint-Eustache

Having set themselves up rudimentary premises in Saint-Eustache in the province of Quebec, the two accomplices went into full swing on the creative process of the Sym2dut software program. The work hours were long and hard, but when the first clients showed interest, they were immediately blown away by the novel software that had been created. By the end of the year, companies were already using Sym2dut to manage their MSDS needs.

2001

The Sainte-Adele Chapter

In the Spring of 2001, Maerix establishes temporary headquarters in the city of Sainte-Adele while waiting for the renovation of new premises in La Rolland Business Park, a Technology Park that lies on the historical site of the old Rolland Papermill. As the waters of the nearby Riviere du Nord kept flowing strongly and constantly, so did the number of clients. Sym2dut is upgraded to better versions and several major enhancements are made to the software.

2002

The Birth of Smaat
