Robert Blais founds Plomberie Robert Blais – Blais Industries’ precursor – in 1952.
Robert Blais bequeaths the company to his sons. The company changes its name to R. Blais et fils.
Robert Blais operates the company in Old Noranda until 1974. His wife and sons take over the company after his death and breathe new life into it. The plumbing company sets up shop in new premises on 7th Street, laying the groundwork for rapid growth.
Blais Industries has been collaborating on installation and maintenance work at Fonderie Horne for 36 years. The industrial contracts it was awarded by this mining company enabled it to diversify into other areas of construction, such as piping, electrical, mechanical and structural, particularly in the mining sector.
The company moves to its current location in 1988 and initially focuses on residential plumbing.
The company grows rapidly in the early 1990s and sees its sales skyrocket from $3 million to $22 million.
Blais gets its first international contract in Guyana.
