His commitment to excellence and constant focus on meeting the needs of his clients quickly helped to establish the company&#8217;s reputation. Driven by his passion for drilling, Clermont embodied the values of hard work and integrity, values he proudly passed on to his son, Steve Giroux.<\/p>\n<p>With Clermont&#8217;s support, Steve developed his expertise and acquired his first drill. Armed with this experience and his father&#8217;s confidence, Steve took the reins of the company in 2012, ushering in a new era for the family business, which was renamed Giroux Drilling. This transition marked the beginning of a period of dynamic growth and continual innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Since its inception, the company has been in perpetual development, always on the lookout for new drilling techniques and with a constant desire to strengthen the health and safety of everyone involved.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div id=\"fullwidth-block-69eb946ca7247\" class=\"fullwidth-block clearfix\"  style=\"background-color: #252432;padding-top: 120px;padding-bottom: 90px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (typeof(gem_fix_fullwidth_position) == \"function\") { gem_fix_fullwidth_position(document.getElementById(\"fullwidth-block-69eb946ca7247\"));
