Pierre Belvédère Celebrates its 50th Anniversary
Québec-based Pierre Belvédère Celebrates Its 50th Anniversary
For this occasion, the company behind the Essence du Papier banner launches its new website
New technologies are constantly evolving and now permeate our daily lives. Despite this unstoppable technological progress, a handwritten note on fine stationary will always hold a special place in our hearts. Whether it is used to convey our best wishes, share our emotions with our loved ones or add an important event to our calendar, paper remains an important communication tool.
In this context, Mr. Bélanger, President of Groupe Pierre Belvédère, shares with us his company’s raison d’être: “For the past 50 years, we have strived to offer products that can become part of our customers memories, both big and small. That our customers use our wares to communicate with their loved ones, highlight special moments in their own lives, enhance their daily lives or have fun with their kids is truly an honour for us.”
Upon its founding in 1960 by Pierre Desmarais, the company was the first in Canada to offer stationary products made in Europe. Throughout the years, new innovative items enriched the company’s offerings. Today, it holds an important part of the market through both the distribution and development of top quality paper products, as well as its magnificent collections of office, home and family products.
Ever seeking new ways to better serve its customers, the company is taking advantage of its 50th anniversary to redesign its website, which offers countless tips and helps consumers find the nearest outlet. Web surfers will discover the company’s four divisions, namely Fine Stationary and Gifts, Semikolon, Toys and Accents.
