Explorer: Spring 2019

In January 2019, Tru-North RV, Auto and Marine announced ownership into Alumarine Boats. Operations will be moved from the current base in West St. Paul, Manitoba to Prince Albert.

“We are so incredibly excited to make this announcement,” says Ron Bonneau, General Manager for Tru-North. “Alumarine boats are well known in the industry and to our customers, with a reputation of being built north tough. We really believe in this product and were very excited when the opportunity came for us to be involved.”

Alumarine Boats will be moving its production from Manitoba to Prince Albert immediately, to a location just north of the city. “The move to Prince Albert will create new jobs in our area,” says Bonneau. “We already have two employees working there and we hope to increase production capacity and employ ten people in the next couple years.”

Tru-North has no plans to make any changes to boats design or production. “We plan to stick to the exact same specs that customers are used to,” says Bonneau, “it’s what people are expecting and we are happy to deliver. The bottom line is that it’s just a really great boat.”
