Our Founder, Yves Careau

In 1993, Yves Careau, who holds a background in lumber measurement and classification, founded Les Bois Paquet Ltée. After spending eight years as a sales director for a manufacturer in the Beauce region, he went into business for himself at the age of 29. Following a name change to Les Bois Paquet-Laflamme Inc. in 1994, the company became Les Bois Indifor Inc. in 2000, marking the beginning of its current identity.

In addition to his commitment to Indifor, Yves represented the QWEB in the softwood sector for 10 years, during which he also served 2 terms of two years as president. Under his visionary leadership, the company thrived and established itself as a leader in its field.

Today, Yves' legacy continues to inspire our company, guiding us towards excellence and innovation in the wood industry.
