Plate 2000: 25 Years of Innovation and Growth as a Leading Manufacturer of Mechanical Concrete Finishing Tools in the U.S., Canada, and Beyond
The story of Plate 2000 began 25 years ago in a family garage in La Durantaye, a small village in Quebec, Canada. Over the years, this modest workshop has grown into a thriving company with a reach far beyond its regional origins. Since its foundation, the company has distinguished itself through its commitment to quality and its unwavering dedication to meeting the needs of construction professionals.
Today, Plate 2000 is a key player in the North American market, particularly well-regarded in the U.S. and Canada thanks to a robust network of distributors and a high-performance product line.
A Leader in the Concrete Finishing Tools Industry
Plate 2000 has built its success on a philosophy focused on innovation, quality, and close relationships with its partners. The company is especially renowned for its concrete finishing solutions, including trowels blades and finishing pans, as well as other construction products such as concrete hoppers, washout pans, and specialized site accessories. These high-precision products enable professionals to achieve superior-quality results.
Sustained Growth Backed by Strategic Investments
Plate 2000 is not resting on its laurels and continues to invest in ambitious projects to support its growth and reinforce its leadership in the industry. Among its key initiatives:
• Construction of a new factory: In February 2025, Plate 2000 will inaugurate a new 120,000-square-foot facility in Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon (Lévis, Canada), representing a $20 million investment. This modern infrastructure will significantly increase the company’s production capacity and incorporate cutting-
edge technologies for optimal efficiency.
• Integration of robotics: Plate 2000 has implemented a robotic welding cell to enhance product quality. This technology ensures more precise welding, flatter pans, and fewer defects, while also increasing production capacity and improving team safety by reducing injury risks.
Innovative Products for Demanding Professionals
Innovation is at the heart of Plate 2000’s strategy. The Big Foot System – Float Pan Saver, a patented innovation, has won over concrete finishers with its outstanding performance:
• Enhanced floor flatness, achieving FF ratings of up to 80.
• Reduced number of required passes, from 8 to just 4, saving time and reducing costs.
• Lower frequency of disc replacements and associated maintenance costs.
• Fewer job site interruptions and reduced risk of injuries.
Plate 2000 remains committed to providing effective and cost-efficient solutions for construction professionals while expanding its presence in North American and international markets.
