A tradition of quality and excellence since 1959.
Founded in Montréal in 1959, Montpak International is a family-owned company specializing in the processing of veal, beef, and lamb. Through a vertically integrated model — from farm to table — we ensure full traceability and rigorous quality control at every stage. We serve both the Canadian market and international markets. Proud of our expertise, we place food safety, consistency, and customer satisfaction at the core of our priorities.
Our Producers
Délimax, a sister company of Montpak International within the Préval Group, operates its own farms and works closely with family-owned farms that share the highest standards of quality, care, and animal welfare.
Our Facility
Our Laval facility, operating under Canadian federal inspection and certified HACCP and SQF, is continuously evolving. It manufactures veal, beef and lamb for all of our markets, both in Canada and internationally. A new facility expansion, scheduled for spring 2026, will further enhance efficiency and production capacity to support our growth and better serve our markets.
Animal Care
At Montpak International, animal welfare standards and responsible husbandry practices are central to our operations and those of our trusted partners. From locally raised veal, beef, and lamb to processing in our federally inspected, SQF-certified facilities, we maintain strict food safety, traceability, and quality control standards—forming the foundation of our premium Canadian meat production.
Commitment to excellence and transparency
Montpak International undergoes regular third-party audits as part of its certified animal welfare and food safety programs. These independent assessments evaluate our federally inspected processing facilities to ensure compliance with SQF-certified food safety standards and the production of safe, high-quality veal, beef, and lamb. Audits also extend to our farming operations, verifying humane livestock practices, responsible husbandry, and full traceability across our Canadian supply chain.
