A B2B export integrator
from Quebec’s boreal grove

Lys du Nord connects Quebec’s boreal forest to international markets through synergistic business lines. A single verifiable origin, multiple value streams.

The problem we solve

The North American market shows a structural imbalance: demand for boreal natural products is rising while local production in the United States is declining. Intermediary B2B buyers struggle to find a Canadian supplier that combines quality, certifications, and trilingual export documentation.

Lys du Nord operates in this exact niche: not the large distilleries that require enormous volumes, nor the artisanal producers limited in capacity. A B2B export integrator that selects, certifies, and ships products from Quebec’s boreal grove to international B2B importers and formulators.

The result: a single point of contact for Quebec’s boreal quality, with all the documentation needed from the first order.

A vision born in Sherbrooke

Lys du Nord was founded in 2024 in Sherbrooke, in the heart of the Eastern Townships.

The brand draws on the natural wealth of the Eastern Townships region, which accounts for 51 % of Quebec’s Christmas tree production according to APANQ. Lys du Nord is not a primary producer: it is a B2B export integrator that selects, certifies, and ships the best materials from the boreal grove to its international B2B partners.

The service is offered in French, English, and Spanish, allowing North American, European, and Latin American buyers to communicate in their preferred language.
