About Us

Our company was founded in 2006. Initially, its main activity was the sale of wooden boards to cabinetmakers.

In 2007, the owner had the idea of making greeting cards out of maple wood. Where did this idea come from?

The owner had spent a beautiful summer afternoon cutting maple boards with his father. Before leaving for work, his partner asked him not to forget to buy a greeting card to give to their friends, because they were invited to her birthday dinner. Seeing that supper time was coming, and that he certainly wouldn't have time to go buy it, he said to himself that, perhaps, if he cut a thin slice of wood from the log maple he was working on, he could make his own map. He would then cut it to size and fold it in half. His partner would then just have to draw a drawing on this wooden card and they could offer their friend something original and unique.

Ultimately, the result was great! The menu caused a sensation and, even three months later, it still sat on the buffet. That’s when it really clicked, because a paper card never lasts so long.

The test

From that moment on, everything was done to develop this new wooden card. After several trials and errors, and above all several months, the first “Carbois” saw the light of day in 2008.

With the help of his partner responsible for creating the drawings and texts, and that of his father for production, the owner first designed a few models in order to test them on the market.

The entrepreneur then presented his idea to several businesses in the region and offered to offer this magnificent card to their customers. Many of them joined the project and decided to innovate by offering this unique product. The success was instantaneous and, since then, customers have requested that other maple wood cards be put on sale!

The start of an adventure

After several years of loyal service for his former employer, the owner decided to devote himself entirely to his new, unique and ecological product. He started with a dedicated family team: his father was always there to help, and his partner ensured the creation of the various models.

Subsequently, the team grew and the company expanded. Its products are now distributed as far as Ontario and the Maritimes.

Building on this momentum, other products made from maple wood, which are as practical as they are decorative, have been created. In 2012, the company launched its first collection of bookmarks with beautiful positive thoughts as well as another series featuring astrological signs. In 2013, the team designed a brand new range of anti-fraud card protectors which has carved out a place of choice among its customers.

Finally, our company is constantly seeking innovation and strives to provide consumers with the best value for money on the market.
