HUB Technology Solutions
Metis Economic Development Fund (MEDF Inc.) is pleased to announce that we have successfully completed our investment into HUB Technology Solutions.
HUB Technology Solutions was first started as a part-time venture back in 1989. As the company grew over the years, it fostered a company culture of smart, caring people who share their same passion for building long lasting relationships with clients, understanding their objectives, and improving their business with high-quality, meaningful IT solutions and services.

Security Glass Ltd.
MEDF initially invested with Security Glass Ltd. to bring tempered glass capabilities to the company in 2014. As the company continued to grow, additional complimentary innovative products such as ceramic enamel frits were launched. Basically ceramic frits are finely ground glass mixed with inorganic pigments to produce a desired color. The coated glass is then heated to about 1,150°F, fusing the frit to the glass surface, which produces a ceramic coating almost as hard and tough as the glass itself. The company has been producing these premium custom pieces for many local clients as this capability clearly differentiates the company from all its competitors on the Prairies.
Financing

Labels Unlimited
When I needed financial assistance to expand my business, I went directly to Metis Economic Development Fund and Louis Riel Capital Corporation. Securing financing helped me expand my business. I highly recommend MEDF and LRCC to other businesses looking to partner with a local community lender that understands the needs of the community.

The staff from the top managers to the administrators have all been very helpful and respectful. On many occasions they have went out of their way to be flexible with my requests and needs, all while maintaining a professional manner.
