Placide Poulin (born 1938 in Saint-Jules, Quebec, Canada) is a Canadian businessman. He was the founder of MAAX Inc., a company producing bathroom products, kitchen cabinets and outdoor spas. An influential man in the Beauce, Poulin is a member of the Parti libéral du Québec. In 1969, he established Modern Fibreglass Inc. in Tring-Jonction, which specialized in the manufacture of snowmobile cabs, molded swimming pools and fibreglass components for the transportation industry. The introduction of acrylic as a new manufacturing material led him to establish Acrylica Inc. in Ste-Marie-de-Beauce, which specialized in acrylic bathtubs and whirlpools. In 1987, all the companies were regrouped into one holding, MAAX Inc., with a research and development centre. Today, MAAX is a North American leader in bathroom products. On March 11, 2004, MAAX was sold to a group of investors comprising J.W. Childs Equity Funding III, Inc., Borealis Private Equity Limited Partnership, Borealis (QLP) Private Equity Limited Partnership and Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System. ==External links== *(Biography from the Journal de Montréal ) (in French) *(Biography from Concordia University ) *(Canadian hot tub maker up for sale ) *(MAAX website ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Placide Poulin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
