André Bolduc, president	The internationally-renowned company Les Pianos André Bolduc was founded in 1978 on Côte des Fermes in Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce, Quebec. André Bolduc, a cabinetmaker, needed to refinish his wife's piano which required several repairs. After the instrument's mend cabinet's repairs, André wanted to take it a step further and learn more on this musical instrument.
Thanks to continuous investments from 1978 to 1987, André Bolduc ® became Les Pianos André Bolduc Inc., and today employs over 20 employees. The company specializes in the manufacturing of piano parts, all the while maintaining its primary vocation: piano restoration.
Piano remanufacturing in Quebec or elsewhere in Canada remained a little-explored field in the 1970s. Bolduc therefore pursued his studies in the United States and became a member of the Piano Technicians Guild, an international association of piano technicians and tuners. Since 1980, André Bolduc speaks at several conferences and seminars and shares his expertise and knowledge with piano technicians.
	André Bolduc and his wife Michelle are proud of their growing team: a group of dynamic and hard-working individuals who are fully devoted to the company's success. The new generation of Bolducs, Christian and Catherine, actively participate in the business's progress, and they are always ready to take on new challenges.
