History of Entretien Avangardiste
In 1968, Jeremias Melo said farewell to his native Portugal to come live in Quebec. In 1971, he founded J. Melo Maintenance, which he passionately managed for 25 years. At the time, its activities are mainly focused around the Montreal-Dorval International airport. In the mid-90’s, his oldest son Pedro Melo took over. This last founds Entretien Avangardiste Inc. in 1996.
From its inception, Entretien Avangardiste shows its capacity to adapt to a demanding market in constant evolution. Carried by the conviction that high quality service makes all the difference, it attracts quickly loyal customers. Over the years, it holds an ever-growing market share and attracts large organizations, such as Canderel, Air Canada, Aéroports de Montréal, the Régie des installations olympiques (RIO) and MDA Corporation, to name only a few.
Embracing its roots, the company moves to Dorval in 2016. Thus, it is now strategically positioned to easily serve the Greater Montreal area and its surrounding regions.
Entretien Avangardiste is today in full expansion, more than one hundred employees-strong and serving millions of square feet.
