Boreal Trade summary
Groupe Leclerc, also trading as Leclerc Foods, makes cookies, crackers and snack bars. It is based in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Quebec.
Its brands include Celebration, Vital, Choco, Praeventia, Tradition, Choco Max, Muffin Max and Gopure. Nügabar is another of its snack bars.
The company also makes products under other companies' private labels as well as under its own Leclerc name.
It is a family business founded in 1905 by François Leclerc in Quebec City. It remains privately owned, and a 2014 industry case study describes five generations of family control.
The head office and two plants are in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures. Further plants operate in Hawkesbury, Cornwall and Brockville in Ontario, and the company also has production sites in the United States.
Its products are sold in the Canadian and US markets. A 2014 case study says it distributed to roughly 20 countries across four continents.
It suits importers and distributors looking for a branded biscuit and bar range from one maker. It also suits buyers wanting private-label cookies, crackers or bars from an established manufacturer.

Approval means the destination authority has listed the establishment. It does not tell you whether the company is currently shipping.
Canada publishes an approved-establishment list for Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, and none for Thailand or the Philippines, so those two read "not yet verified" for every company.
Elsewhere it means we have not found the company on that market's list, never that they are unregistered.

What a buyer in each destination has to settle before a shipment from this company can land. Registration rules sit with the importer, not the exporter.
