COMPANY HISTORY
Founded in 1990 by three of the board members of the École de joaillerie et de métaux d'art de Montréal (Jewellery and Metal of Art School of Montreal), Trifac Inc. specializes in the conception and production of jewellery, decorative objects, miniature sculptures, trophies and its latest line: miniature funeral bronze urns. What best describes Trifac's product is its unaccustomed shape or size and also and mainly, its authenticity, its refinement and the very high quality of its finish.

At the end of 1995, a second and international series of mini-busts, somewhat larger than the previous ones, was launched, selecting Napoleon as the first model. This delicately detailed bust, created by Jean-Eudes Germain, has received approval from the president of the International Napoleonic Society, the late Ben Weider. |

On October 4 th, 2001, the following press release was issued by SODEC: “ The Jury awards the First "Madeleine-Dansereau/Sodec Price for excellency in exportation" to Trifac Inc. for the capacity, the determination and the persistence of its team to design products which are original because of their concept and the way they are produced. This price is also awarded for its concern at seeking new ways to solicit new markets and also for its excellent management in adequately allocating its resources in order to promptly react at delivering unexpected orders, with the expected level of quality, within a very short period.” This Award, so closely related to Madeleine Dansereau, co-founder of the company, becomes a testimony of the spirit and dynamism she has infected her close partners with and for the results obtained. |

In May 2005, after having filed an application for an international patent, Michel Larbrisseau presents his brand new concept: the reliquary for a lock of hair. This first collection of 10 models perfectly fits within Trifac's assortment of Funeral products, as much because of its quality, its diversity and the miniature dimensions of each model. In 2006 six new models of reliquaries have been added to this constantly growing collection. |
In October 2005, the Canada's Telecommunication Hall of Fame has commissioned Trifac to create a Statuette Award inspired by an old model of telephone called "“The Daffodil". This work of art will be offered each year to a certain number of women and men who have played a key role in the telecommunication industry. The first of these statuettes has been awarded posthumously to Mr. Graham Bell. In december 2007, Jean-Eudes Germain stepped down from his administrator's position in order to devote his time entirely to design and conception of his and Trifac's models. |
