Our History
1932: Foundation of Canadian Blackboard Company Ltd.
The Canadian Blackboard Company Ltd. (CBBC) was founded on Notre-Dame Street at the corner of 10th Avenue in Lachine by Mr. Émilien Lauzon in 1932. Initially, the company applied paint on Masonite panels for the Frères de l'Institution Chrétienne. Shortly afterwards, CBBC add an import division for Italian cherries in order to transform them into cocktail cherries.

Company activities slowly but steadily mushroomed. In 1956, CBBC move to Saint-Constant on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, on the land it still occupies today. At the time of the move, the city was still young and was built around the company.

1975: Change of ownership
