In January 1985, Francis Carrier owned a home décor business mostly overlooked by major distributors. He decided to launch his own company, creating custom designed acrylic bathroom accessories which were produced in the basement and then sold on the floor of the shop. Some of the more innovative and attractive quality items created an interesting market with great potential. In 1991, after a number of setbacks and ordeals including a flood, a move and two major fires, the company relocated to Saint-Martin de Beauce, the North American capital of the acrylic industry, to quickly become a major player in this sector. The company's growth is assured thanks to continuing product diversification and the arrival of Raynald Carrier and Jacques Poirier as shareholders. Mr. Carrier's and Mr. Poirier's knowledge and expertise in the industry compliment that of the company's president and founder, who is still in office today.

Through various partnerships, Design Franc Art furnishes distributors of promotional and recognition items in the United States, Canada and Europe, mostly. Creativity, state of the art technology, outstanding service, and facility to carry out varied and complex projects are what set this company apart from its competitors.

A true story of perseverance and success!
