Thanks to his vision, his determination, his hard work and that of his loyal collaborators, he was able, in a dozen years, to build a leading company that meets the automation needs of pharmacies.  Synergy Medical is now an international company with clients in Europe, Australia, the United States and across Canada. That's something to be proud of."

A final word from Jean, an entrepreneur of great integrity and vision: "This past year was highlighted by our merger with Parata Systems.  Well executed, this partnership will ensure that the SynMed technology scales to reach its true potential. Our company will always be close to my heart, and I will keep an eye on the progress and the successes."
