Valises Aluminium Rouillard is a family business founded in 1986. Maurice Rouillard, at the head of this enterprise, has always been good with his hands. Jean-Luc Morin, his neighbour and a musician, who had noticed this talent, approached Mr. Rouillard one day regarding the difficulties encountered when travelling with his cello. Having taken stock of the heavy, cumbersome wooden case, that did little to protect the cello, Mr. Rouillard vowed to overcome this challenge. After spending some time working on the project , he presented his neighbour with what was to become the first model in a series, redefining the market standards of instrument cases for musicians. It didn't take long for Mr. Morin's sarcophagus-style cello case to attract the attention of other musicians. Word travelled so successfully that today many musicians from the Montreal Symphony Orchestra use Mr. Rouillard's carrying cases. His overjoyed neighbour now enjoys stress-free travel. His cello is secure in the case that is now also reccomended by the airline company Inter-Canadian. Since this 1986 success story, Valises Aluminium Rouillard has sold cello cases and cases for others instrument all over the world. Reaching the World Wide Web was only a matter of time.
