Dear Readers,

Over the course of the last (12) twelve months, there have been at Lassonde Specialties several changes which will benefit all, including consumers, our clients, as well as our employees.

We have acquired “Produits Alimentaires Mondiv” which is now a division of Lassonde Specialties. This company based in Boisbriand, Quebec produces Italian specialty products such as pasta sauces, bruschettas and tapenades.

In harmony with our mission to create, develop, manufacture, and commercialize distinctive specialty food products, we will continue to develop the portfolio of Italian products and condiments under the trade mark ANTICO. These delicious and superior quality products give testimony to our capacity of producing locally, products meeting consumer needs in terms of taste and well being. More, many of the ANTICO products are certified organic. To our business partners, we assure you of our commitment to meet all your industrial requirements.

Innovation has always been our driving force to better serve the consumer. Having said this, we are proud to announce that Lassonde Specialties is going to launch in August (2) two new product lines of beans under the trade mark CANTON. These ready to serve delicious beans in a sauce are inspired from all (4) four corners of the world.

These legume meal solutions are delicious, practical and take into account your expectations of us as a responsible and ethical company.

We offer our new meal solutions in an unbreakable and flexible aluminum stand up pouch. This convenient packaging will allow you to enjoy our new line of beans at any time and any place, whether at home, at the office or in the course of an outdoor activity.

You will find on our web site all the information regarding our Italian specialty products under the trade mark ANTICO, as well as our new line of beans in a sauce and Brunch Beans.

Thank you for visiting our web site and please do not hesitate to communicate with us if you have any questions, comments or remarks. The pleasure will be ours.

Jean Messier
President and Chief Executive Officer
