Andréanne International Inc., Bouctouche Sud, NB

When Paul and Madeleine Lemay opened Andreanne Sportswear (now Andreanne International Inc.) in 1987, the company’s focus was on the Canadian garment industry. The Bouctouche, New Brunswick firm assembled clothing for such well-known retailers as Sears, Suzy Shier and Le Chateau. In 1991, the focus shifted from sportswear to bedding as the Lemay’s launched what has become their premiere product, Brunswick Sheets. This established their company as one of the top fleece bedding manufacturers in Canada. Now in its second generation of Lemay family management, the brother/sister team of Eric and Karine have expanded and optimized production facilities, and installed state-of-the-art automated equipment.
