About us

Lassonde is a family business. And this family includes all the dedicated, innovative people who invest their time, energy, creativity and commitment in crafting delicious, high-quality products. Together, we all play a part in making Lassonde a leader in the food processing industry.

Our mission

To craft quality food and drinks that consumers love, customers value and employees are proud of, and that demonstrate care for the planet.

From Québec to the United States

It all began with one enterprising couple, Aristide Lassonde and his wife, Georgianna Darcy, and their dream of helping local farmers make use of their surplus crops. Over the years, the corporation has made a number of acquisitions, always seeking out companies that align with its values. More than a century later, what started as a Rougemont vegetable cannery has become a North American leader in the development, manufacture and sale of fruit and vegetable juices and drinks.

Today, Aristide’s great-granddaughter, Nathalie Lassonde, has taken over as CEO, while her father, Pierre-Paul Lassonde, is Chair of the Board of Directors. Together, they are passing on their passion for their work to future generations.

Executive Committee

Comprised of seasoned leaders, the Executive Committee ensures the smooth operation of the company and always acts in the interests of employees, customers, shareholders and suppliers.
