Maxime entered the fireworks business at the age of 13. Before his 20th birthday, he had participated in hundreds of events, including the Casino Lac-Leamy Sound of Light, Ironman races, Calgary GlobalFest, Canada Day on Parliament Hill, international competitions, the Guinness Record for the World's Largest Show in Kuwait and various other festivals. In 2013, he decided to begin the process of starting his own business. In light of this decision, he set off with his backpack to travel around the world to acquire the necessary knowledge to earn the title of Master of fireworks. Maxime is proud of his accomplishments. After all, few can claim to have participated in the most important pyrotechnic events, worked in fireworks manufacturing plants in Asia and established relationships with people who share their passion in more than 25 countries.
However, it is as a result of an association with the artistic director François Philibert in January 2017 that Kuma Fireworks is officially born. François has worked for various organizations in several countries such as: Russia, Gustavia, Saint Martin, Anguilla, Spain, Berlin, China and South Korea. François is a creator, an imaginative person. Our artist studied design at the Université de Montréal, but it is after having worked for more than ten years as a technician and project manager on major shows and international competitions that he made the big leap to design. We often like to say that François is our Van Gogh: he's always trying to leave us dazzled.
It is Maxime, François and the 25 seasoned pyrotechnicians who have allowed the firm to rank among the leaders of the world fireworks industry and to win in 2019, in Russia, the first place of the International Fireworks competition bringing together the best companies in the world, all winners of the last editions, after only 2 years of existence.
