Guillaume learned three fundamental concepts from his grandfather:
- Basic rules established by Hydro-Québec and Alcan for electrical compression fittings, and crimping dies
- Metal metallurgy, in particular the choice of suitable aluminum alloys for different applications.
- The importance of selecting the right materials for each application, for both insulation and conductors, without compromising on quality.
