Our Story

Created in 2003 by Yannick Rudolph Binette, a young resident from the laurentians, Yannick Rudolph has acquired shocking work ethic for his age. Barely in his twenties with a diploma in marketing, he spent two years outside the country where he began the process of becoming a young entrepreneur. After returning to the region, he had only to find…his calling! He found many opportunities until coming across a distillery in Blainville. “ The environmental aspect added depth to my company. It is very enriching to me on a personal level.”  Being a former member of the scouts, and the study of plants have been a part of his family life making this company designed for him.

Since its first year of operations, Arbressence serves 14 municipalities and recuperates about 215 tons of cedar branches and clippings all of which are completely recycled. The foliage is used for the extraction of its oils, and the branches become rustic cedar mulch with no added chemical agents or colorants. Finally, the residue from the distillery will transform into compost. Arbressence has adopted the motto
“NOTHING GETS LOST, NOTHING GETS CREATED, EVERYTHING IS JUST TRANSFORMED…”
