Passed on from father to son, three passionate generations have each in turn committed themselves to satisfying their customers by offering top-of-the-line service and excellent work at all times with assistance from a team that shares their same values.

 

1974

Creation of Les Entreprises Charta Inc. by Jean-Guy Chartier, father of Yves Chartier. The name of the business is a combination of the names Chartier and Rita, the first name of Jean-Guy’s wife. In a short amount of time, the company makes itself known and is appreciated for the quality of its services and projects in the residential and commercial domains. From the beginning, at the age of fifteen, Yves works regularly at his father’s side. When he receives his diploma in Administration and Marketing, he works full-time in the company in order to learn all of the aspects of construction sites until he obtains his carpenter certification.

1987

Les Entreprises Charta acquires a construction materials hardware store of over 7,000 square feet - le Centre du Bricoleur Lachine ltée. The acquisition of this hardware proves to be a major asset in their field of work compared to their competitors as the company can thereby benefit from a rapid supply of required materials at a competitive price in order to complete their contracts.

1996

Upon the passing of Jean-Guy, Yves takes charge of the business and decides to direct the company more specifically into the commercial, industrial and institutional domains.

1997

Yves receives the "Gold Seal" Award from the Canadian Construction Association (CCA) for project manager.
