During a career spanning over 40 years, Mr. Dumont was one of the pillars of Lassonde Industries Inc., where he still worked as a consultant and board member at the time of his death. \n\n\n \n \n\n \nHolding degrees in Food Science from the Institut national alimentaire de Paris and the University of California, Davis, Mr. Dumont was highly active in the quality control, quality assurance, and research and development sectors when he joined the Company in 1971. \n\nHis passion for technology development and transfer was a key factor in adopting new operational measures, particularly in packaging. When he worked as General Manager at Lassonde Technologies, he helped develop Hypa, a type of cardboard packaging that among other things, would revolutionize the production and distribution of our Oasis brand, thereby enabling Lassonde to improve its position and become a North American leader in the manufacturing and marketing of fruit and vegetable juices and drinks. \n\nAfter dedicating over five years of his life to expanding our Company on the international scene, Mr. Dumont returned to his passion for development as Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Research and Development, Quality Assurance and Strategic Development, a position he held for nearly a decade. Even after his retirement, he remained active as a consultant for Lassonde Industries Inc., then as a board member.\n\nAs a respected manager and colleague, he stood among the great builders, always seeking new challenges and sustainable achievements. All of us in the great Lassonde family would like to extend our sincerest condolences to his wife Elisabeth, daughters Virginie (Robert Cussen), Stéphanie (Benoît Gosselin), Héloïse (Olivier Randon), his grand-children Julia...
