The President of Distribution Robitaille, Érick Robitaille, worked for more than 5 years for IPL at the end of the 80’s. Like any major company, IPL offered a continuous training program for its employees that Érick was able to take advantage of; especially in terms of sales, marketing and distribution.
It was at this time that he developed his knowledge of plastic pails and rigid packaging and he built up an excellent network of contacts in Eastern Canada.
Entrepreneur at heart, Erick later founded with a few partners Les Emballages Robitaille in 1995, in Quebec City, which later became D. Robitaille in 2001, to finally constitute Distribution Robitaille, a company specialized in the distribution and the sale of plastic and metal pails, plastic and metal drums, oblong containers, gallons of paint, stackable milk crates, double compartment pails for 2-component glues, and a wide variety of containers and rigid packaging.
