It all started in 2001 in an office in Brossard.

Driven by the immense desire to be an entrepreneur and to actively act for the sake of the environment, the current president of Ricova, Mr.  Dominic Colubriale, founded the company Ricova International, otherwise called Forest Fibers.

This new venture started at a crucial time: exports to Asia were growing. Ricova was, therefore, able to establish itself as the first company from Eastern Canada to export recyclables from Quebec and Ontario to Asia.

From 20 employees in 2003 to more than 400 today, Ricova is rapidly becoming a major force in the industry and a leading employer. With operations in major international markets such as North America, South America, and Asia, Ricova is recognized as an important global leader in its industry.
