Mouyal Corporate Group Opens Sales and Marketing Centre in St. John�s

 Mouyal Corporate Group of Montreal, Quebec, is pleased to announce the official opening of its newest sales and marketing facility in St. John�s, NF.

Mouyal Corporate Group operates two main divisions: International Business Directories, which compiles, publishes and markets specialty business communications directories; and Merchant Transaction Supplies, which markets point-of-sale transaction paper and supplies. The company operates centres in three other locations: Montreal, Toronto, and Barbados.

The centre began operations here on December 1, 1999, and currently employs 150 people. Growing demand for the company�s products and services in the United States and Europe precipitated this latest expansion to St. John�s.

Sandra C. Kelly, Minister of Industry, Trade and Technology said: "The establishment of Mouyal Corporate Group in Newfoundland and Labrador is a positive sign that the telemarketing industry is continuing to take root in our province. I am pleased that the Economic Diversification and Growth Enterprises (EDGE) program was a determining factor in the company's decision to locate here, and to bring economic benefits to Newfoundlanders and Labradorians."

"We chose to locate this centre here because of Newfoundland and Labrador�s highly motivated workforce," said Michael Mouyal, President of Mouyal Corporate Group. "We've been extremely impressed with the professionalism and dedication of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador."

NETWORK Newfoundland and Labrador, a partnership between Newtel Communications and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, was instrumental in attracting the company to the province, and is working with the company to help set up the centre.

"NETWORK Newfoundland and Labrador worked very closely with Mouyal Corporate Group for over a year, evaluating the company�s needs and demonstrating the benefits of locating in Newfoundland and Labrador," said NewTel�s president Frank Fagan. "It's gratifying to see our joint efforts result in the creation of so many employment opportunities for the people of this province. We are also very pleased to partner with a company that shares our belief in a bright economic future for Newfoundland and Labrador."
