In 2007, she became General Manager and Associate, and she now holds the position of President.

Marie-Noël is very involved in the business and local communities. She is a Fellow of the Ordre des comptables professionnels agréés du Québec [Quebec CPA Order], a Mentor for Réseau M de la Fondation de l’entrepreneurship [entrepreneurship foundation mentorship network], and regional President within the Femmessor Network: these are just a few of the titles that attest to her commitments.

A keen strategist, she is determined to lead Jambette to the highest summits. Nothing will sway her quest to keep Jambette's position as the largest playground manufacturer in Canada, and beyond!

Claude Caron

Claude Caron

Chairman and Director of Continuous Improvement

Claude Caron, company cofounder, emerged as the company conductor right from Jambette's beginnings. Ever since passing the torch of General Manager to Marie-Noël Grenier in 2007, he has remained an effective and benevolent aid in ensuring continuity.

During his many years of active involvement at Jambette, Claude’s mission was to ensure that the factory and office production processes were maintained and improved, and this is still his focus today. He also plays an important role as senior product designer. Moreover, he manages the company’s engineering group and is responsible for all fixed assets.

In addition to being an avid sportsman, he does not hesitate to get involved in the community: community organizations, foundations, mentoring, etc. He is regularly asked to participate in various activities and even to be a guest speaker.

Guy Caron

Guy Caron

Director of Marketing and Director of Product Development

From the company’s beginnings, Guy Caron, also one of Jambette’s cofounders, rapidly emerged as the person to lead sales and marketing efforts. His great sensibility and keen insight into customers’ needs quickly enabled him to position the company as a high-level leader in the recreational industry.

With his creative and inventive spirit, Guy is the driving force behind the colour and originality that make Jambette so distinctive on the market. He tirelessly pushes his company to reach new heights unrivalled by the competition, offering customers an endless array of original and high-performance products and services. He is the “recreational solutions” man.

Jordan Boucher

Jordan Boucher

Director of production

It’s already been 13 years at Jambette: my how time flies! Initially, the hands-on work attracted me to the factory. Quickly, I began to have fun with my work on the digital milling machine. Over time, I was offered training opportunities to upgrade my skills. Now, I am manager and director of the factory. Of course, my father was one of the company founders, but what really matters to me is to continually surpass myself and have the opportunity to work with employees who share my passion.
