This company ran the Plessisville Foundry, which was in business at least 1876 through to 1933. It appears that the Savoie-Guay name first appeared in 1898, although François-Théodore Savoie had been with the business for over 20 years by that time.

The foundry is best remembered for their gas, gasoline, and steam enginess, and their tractors, but they also made saw, shingle and planing-mill machinery plus general-purpose woodworking machinery.
