After that company went bankrupt, four of his sons opened Pierreville Fire Trucks in St-Francois du Lac, which is just across the river. Then Pierre Thibault Company was resurrrected, then it was bought by Pierreville, then they went bankrupt again and came back for a while as Nova Quintech. Meanwhile, some of the remaining family members started-up Phoenix Fire Trucks up the river in Drummondville. There was also ThiboTrac operated by another faction of the family.
Carl Thibault (3rd generation) now assembles apparatus the original Thibault plant in Pierreville. The CET plant (named for one of the sons -- Charles-Etienne Thibault) is just down the street.
