DEVMONT

The story behind Devmont is at once unique and universal. It is the story of the Scalia family and indeed of every immigrant family - the desire to create a new home. That and the belief that with hard work, dedication and enterprising vision, anything is possible... That first landscaping business grew into a family's construction company. The first modest duplexes and triplexes in St-Leonard led to more ambitious complexes. By 1979, Francesco and his brother Giovanni were buying up land to accommodate larger housing complexes. This was also the year 13-year-old Sam Scalia began his career in construction and development, working on-site on evenings and weekends. Joe Scalia quickly followed suit. When Devmont was officially founded in 1999, the younger Scalia brothers were already 20-year veterans of the industry... It's a story that began on October 8, 1955, when Francesco Scalia, father of Devmont founders Sam and Joe Scalia, arrived in Montreal. The very next day he found work..
