Leslie Leger & Sons Ltd.
In the early 1950`s Arthur Leger began processing smoked herring
bloaters in Cap-Pel, New Brunswick. At that time his market
was concentrated in the West Indies.
His son Leslie Leger became active in the family firm in the late
1950`s and acquired the business from his father in 1975. In
those
days, the Company`s facilities were very modest and operations
took place only in the spring season.
Leslie Leger & Sons Ltd. was incorporated in 1979 and the
Company has shown continuous growth with sales increasing from
under $100,000 dollars in 1976 to multi-million dollar sales at
the
present time. The plant operates 12 months per year.
Operations consisted solely of bloaters until 1981 when pickled
alewives (gaspereaux) was introduced to the market. In 1984 an
automatic smoker was acquired to process the popular mild cured
(Dutch Style) herring. In 1987 frozen herring roe was added to
the line of products being processed at the plant.
In 1987 a Canada Export Excellence Award was presented to the
Company for successful export marketing. Today Leslie Leger &
Sons Ltd. is considered by many as the leader in salted/smoked
herring as well as their other product lines. Our mandate is to
consistently provide superior quality products.
