Desjardins Capital Backs LOC International’s Hospitality Innovations 

LOC International, leader in the design, manufacturing and distribution of equipment for the hospitality industry, partners with Desjardins Capital to continue its growth. LOC International offers products to the hotel industry that improve the guest experience. This strategic partnership will enable the Quebec-based company to strengthen its position in the North American market and solve labour shortages. 

LOC International serves independent hotels and hotel chains mostly in North America and Europe by providing them with electronics, appliances and digital solutions for things like virtual events and cashless tipping.

“Not only are hotels running short on time and staff, but they’re also being held to increasingly higher standards in terms of guest experience. Our products and innovative solutions can help the hotel industry become more modern to ensure enjoyable, quality stays for guests. We’re very happy to be able to count on Desjardins Capital’s support and expertise to help us pursue our company’s mission,” says Vincent Beaudet, President and CEO of LOC International.
