Our story

Our Cooperative is proud of its roots

In 1945, the Société coopérative avicole régionale de Saint-Damase and the Coopérative avicole régionale d’Etchemins were created. Fifty years later, in 1995, the members of these two cooperatives joined forces to form Groupe Dorchester/Saint-Damase which was later renamed Exceldor coopérative avicole. Today, we are Exceldor Cooperative, the result of this historic merger of two regional poultry cooperatives.
