Our story
The Menard family started its operations in 1920 in the industrial parts distribution industry, and acquired Topring in the early 1980s. At that time, Topring was an Italian-owned manufacturing company based in Granby, where they manufactured pneumatic components. The compressed air market seemed very promising and the Menard family, wishing to expand its services, acquired the company.
Topring ceased its manufacturing operations to refocus its activities on the design, assembly and distribution of pneumatic components. The company is working with the best manufacturers around the world to offer high quality products. Topring is now recognized as a leader in the industry, and its product line now includes more than 8000 pneumatic components.
In 2020, founder Louis Menard transferred ownership of the company to the third generation. His three children, Anne-Catherine, Alexandre and Marie-Christine, as well as a long-time collaborator, Frédéric Théroux, have proudly assumed the reins of the company.
