The Al-Pack Story

Home > About Us

Started in 1995

Louis LeBlanc and Vernon Allen met while working for a transport company in Moncton, New Brunswick. With entrepreneurial spirits, they both wanted to branch out on their own and found their first opportunity by securing the Atlantic Canadian distribution rights for Eco-Foam, an environmentally-friendly packaging foam product. Al-Pack Enterprises Ltd. was born. After a bumpy start, Louis and Vernon soon decided to expand into the packaging world by adding industrial staples like tape, bubble wrap, and boxes. Al-Pack was officially off the ground and running and there was no looking back!

Growth and Diversification

With hard work, a drive to succeed, and a knack for relationship building, Al-Pack grew quickly. Sales offices were opened in Nova Scotia and PEI and a sales/distribution warehouse was set up in Newfoundland. The Moncton facility expanded to include box and bag-making equipment and a custom workshop, and the Al-Pack brand of recycling and certified compost bags was launched to service regional programs. In 2007, Al-Pack moved to its permanent home at 60 Commerce Street.

Al-Pack Today

Today, Al-Pack employs 87 people throughout its distribution, manufacturing, and retail divisions and services customers from its New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Ontario warehouses. The Al-Pack brand of retail recycling and composting bags has become a trusted name in the category and products are available in most giant retailers throughout Canada. The company is committed to product quality and safety and holds IFS PAcsecure, BPI and BNQ certifications to compete in the global marketplace.

Growth through Partnerships

Trusted partnerships with our suppliers and customers have always been at the core of Al-Packโ€™s success. Listening, learning, caring, and persistently searching for the best solutions have built the foundations for lasting relationships. We are proud that many of our suppliers and customers have been with us since the beginning.

We are Family 

That strong emphasis on relationships with suppliers and customers applies just as much to Al-Packโ€™s employees. Everyone truly cares about each other and the work they do, which is why so many people come to work for Al-Pack and stay! The trust, support, and experience that comes from being part of a great family gets paid forward every day to our customers.

Team sponsorship is just one way Al-Pack supports employees and communities.

Congratulations to our very own CEO, Louis LeBlanc, an EY Entrepreneur Of The Yearยฎ 2022 award winner in Atlantic. We are so proud to be a part of your team!

From your Al-Pack Family.
