A bit of history

Her Basque roots make her a fiercely determined colleague. Florence is always on hand to organize whatever needs organizing, with a touch of perfection. With a bit of a sweet tooth, this trained designer puts her talent and creativity to work in product development to create "wows" for her customers.

• Her morning coffee and sports are essential to her well-being (and that of the team! Ha! Ha!).

Originally from the Gaspé Peninsula, Mathieu has built up most of his professional experience in the footwear sector. Having evolved by seizing opportunities, his creativity, rigor and ease in building relationships are invaluable assets in serving our current and future customers. With an artistic flair, he accurately positions our company to reflect our DNA.

• Cooking for himself and others is second nature—much to everyone's delight.

As a numbers woman, Marion is a really busy bee. Her ability to handle several projects simultaneously and her reliability are appreciated throughout the company. Her empathy toward others and her discretion have made her a valuable resource for every team member. A true idea generator, she optimizes the company's finances like a pro.

• Don't be fooled by her sweetness and her petite size (5'1')': Marion is a rock-solid volleyball player.

Hailing directly from the renowned Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec, Marie-Pier has an unfailing sense of humor. During her day at the "chalet" (MP is with the team once a week), she deploys her skills and moves projects forward without missing a beat. The go-to partner for the production manager, her interventions are fair. She is committed to fostering a healthy and equitable work climate.

• MP is definitely a high-octane individual! She's not afraid of the cold. When she's not speeding down trails on a mountain bike, she's running the trails and climbing through the backcountry.

Natacha always gives her 110%. The energy she puts into developing the company, team and people is through the roof. She thrives on seeing team members push their limits and accomplish great things. A caring person, she works to bring out the best in everyone while aligning the team to achieve its goals. Her team would tell you that she is an inspiration to contribute wholeheartedly to the beautiful Natpro adventure.

• Natacha has only one speed: running step. When she's not walking with determination in our factor, you'll find her in the wild, running over rocks and roots.

As management team members, Johanne and Marie-Claude's involvement makes all the difference when it comes to stepping back, contemplating things, and making the right decisions. When Johanne speaks, it's important to listen carefully: you'll always hear an informed comment that puts the team's well-being first. Conversely, Marie-Claude challenges ideas with relevant feedback. She always makes sure that no matter what we do, we do it right and at the right time.

• They each cultivate joy and well-being in their own way: Johanne through hot baths and reading and Marie-Claude by taking care of her greenhouse and practicing meditation.

Always smiling and as dynamic as ever, Nancy is an absolute ball of energy. Her sharp eye gives a clear picture of her teams and daily operations. Fueled by challenges, Nancy works relentlessly to achieve objectives and does so with a can-do attitude. Her empathy is evident in all her discreet ways of taking care of our people.

• Beyond her thousand-and-one community involvements, you might see her riding her lawn tractor down Main Street!

Lise is the pure definition of caring and kindness. She always has the pulse on how people are doing. An organizer at heart, she ensures that production runs smoothly to the best of everyone's ability. Her patience, skill and high level of playfulness make her an ideal ally in developing new products.

• If you look for Lise at the weekends, you may well find her having fun with one, or two... or five grandchildren! Or setting up a loom for her 91-year-old mother!

Lorraine first opened Natpro's door in June 1986. She brought a wealth of experience with her. Over the years, she has become a reference in Production Unit 1 (gloves, mittens, clothing and aluminized garments), particularly regarding quality control. Her eagle eye is an invaluable asset when it comes to offering our customers products that meet Natpro quality standards.

• Lorraine loves the great outdoors and horses. She puts as much rigor and love into caring for and training her animals as she does into her work.

Don't let Josée's low-key approach fool you: she's all about drive! Josée is a jack-of-all-trades who does everything fast and well. With 35 years of experience behind her, she's seen a lot. That's what makes her a great team leader in a unit where our products cannot let any liquid through (waterproof clothing)!

• Family and camping are important for Josée. If you're looking for her on weekends, you'll find her by the family lake, camping, and enjoying time with her loved ones.
