Lachine Paper Company was founded in 1950 by a young tool designer, René Derail, who enjoyed the challenge of building machinery that could generate high quality products. While his first equipment was designed to create butterchips, he quickly saw the need to build machinery that delivered premium quality disposable products, specifically, placemats, traycovers and doilies. When René began his company it was based in the town of Lachine but in 1970, as his business grew, he invested in land in Ville Ste-Catherine and built, what is now, our corporate headquarters. With the change in town came the change in name and Lachine Paper Company became Lapaco Paper Products Ltd.
In the mid-1960’s Henry Pascone joined Lapaco in operations and in the mid-1970’s Dan Derail joined his father in the business as a sales person. Today Dan and Henry jointly own Lapaco and have carried on the tradition of producing the highest quality disposable tabletop, bakery and other related items in the industry.
