What happened
GoliathTech, a company based in Magog, has been facing significant financial pressure due to U.S. tariffs on its products. Since the steel tariffs took effect last March, the company absorbed about $3.7 million in tariffs, which were split with its U.S. franchisees. The company sought to pivot by establishing a factory south of the border.
Why it matters
The company, which manufactures helical screw piles, is currently raising capital to sustain its operations. The company successfully raised $900,000 through an equity sale to six of its employees, alongside $1.5 million from another source.
