Description
Jean-Claude Villeneuve is the founder of Boris Canada; he is an engineer and had a mission that embraced product creation that would improve people's health. He had a vision to create his own company. Utilizing his experience in electrical engineering and robotics, Jean-Claude spent several years working and traveling in Asia and the United States. After returning in 2014 to his native Chibougamau-Chapais region, located in Eeyou Istchee Bay James in northern Quebec, Canada, he set up his distillation business, emphasizing sustainability.
BoreA Canada uses traditional and innovative techniques to produce essential oils, hydrosols, and other high-quality extracts that minimize environmental harm.
BoreA Canada's circular process reduces greenhouse gases by 60% compared to a conventional approach. Their production facilities are state-of-the-art and enable high-capacity scalable production. Every aspect of their operation is overseen, from harvesting trees to the end product, to ensure the highest quality and sustainability standards.
BoreA Canada now produces high-quality essential oils, hydrosols, and other extracts from more than 15 species from the boreal forest. Jean-Claude feels it is essential to use both traditional and innovative extraction processes based on eco-responsibility. His engineering training came in handy when he designed his distillation tanks, which were unique for their high capacity and performance.
"We do not hesitate to work in temperatures of minus 40 degrees Celsius to collect plants from the forest, far from human habitation and coming mainly from vast territories on public lands with long-term government guarantees. Government-managed crops must follow a specific framework for ensuring renewable resources. ” Jean-Claude Villeneuve
"Every 1.42 seconds, someone, somewhere, uses two drops of Black Spruce essential oil to soothe their muscle pain or boost their energy." Jean-Claude Villeneuve
