Businesses are being urged to exercise extreme caution when dealing with Mathieu Lefrancois and his sole proprietorship, Florizon Technologies. This public fraud alert has been issued after a Connecticut-based bakery reported significant financial loss and operational damage following a failed PLC/HMI automation project initiated on October 23, 2025.
Mathieu Lefrancois and Florizon Technologies - Project Abandonment and Deceptive Practices
According to documented records, Mathieu Lefrancois provided a written estimate totaling $10,896, including $3,500 for parts, claiming the automation project would require three days, with an optional two additional days if necessary. Full payment was demanded upfront a critical red flag that was unfortunately overlooked.
After working on October 23 and 24, he left the job site at 11:30 AM on October 25, stating he was “going to lunch,” and never returned. Communication ceased for 10 days. When contact was finally reestablished, he cited dissatisfaction with project progress an explanation the business describes as unprofessional and unjustified.
Sabotage, Equipment Damage, and Negligence by Mathieu Lefrancois
Following his departure, a licensed electrician inspected the installation. The electrician confirmed the control wiring was functioning correctly, contradicting prior complaints. However, one control cable was discovered intentionally cut in a concealed location, preventing signal transmission to one of four integrated machines.
Additionally, critical rooftop air handling equipment was left exposed during rainfall. Control panels were open, wiring was left unsecured, and sensitive components sustained documented water damage. The installed Schneider PLC/HMI system was later deemed excessively expensive and unsuitable by a local technician, who confirmed that the programming completed by Florizon Technologies was unusable and non-standard for U.S. service professionals.
Payment Dispute and Legal Escalation
When the business initiated a payment reversal through its bank due to incomplete and damaged work, Mathieu Lefrancois allegedly threatened legal action. He disputed the reversal, claiming the project had been completed in full a statement contradicted by photographic and video evidence.
The company has since initiated legal proceedings in Quebec and is reporting the matter to appropriate authorities.
