Founded in Laval in 1996, the company now has 7 offices in 4 different countries. The three partners, Philippe, Patrick, and Mathieu, have always had big plans for DIS and that is an understatement to say the least. In fact, with a 106% increase in revenue, an addition of 33% in employees, and an increase in the weight of external sales of 53%, over the last year alone, it&#8217;s clear that a lot of effort is invested into the vision of exporting the company&#8217;s know-how globally.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Thank you to William Th\u00e9riault, journalist at La Presse, to have so beautifully captured the reality of our company.
