The company Botteillage Canada, which produced Canada Sauce condiments, is bankrupt. The company founded by Saguenéan Simon-Pierre Murdock ceased its production of condiments in Chicoutimi-Nord last October after a costly equipment breakdown.

The company then indicated that production would henceforth take place outside of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, without specifying where.

It is the trustee Tremblay et Cie who will be responsible for liquidating the assets.

In a text message, Simon-Pierre Murdock mentions a difficult economic context and an extremely competitive environment to explain the bankruptcy of Bottling Canada, in addition to mentioning a five-month production interruption.

We therefore have no other choice than to proceed with a transfer of assets, a decision all the more difficult and painful to make as it results in job losses for competent and talented women and men.he writes.

Company founder also says he will refrain from making statements regarding bankruptcy in order to allow the trustee Tremblay & Compagnie to carry out his work effectively and the legal process to follow its course.
