Picard Ovens
2555, Alfred Nobel J2A 0L5 Drummondville, QC, Canada

People ask us about our history... Picard Ovens was started in 1957 by a visionary French Canadian named Lauréat Picard. Do the math... that's 63 years of baking experience behind the Picard name.

A few facts for World Bread Day Bread became a staple food during the Neolithic, around 10,000 years ago. We eat 55 loaves of bread a year, which is 4,376 (87,000 slices) loaves of bread in our lifetime.

To our Canadian friends

It's National Pizza Month! Hats off to our sister company Hot Rocks Pizza Ovens - the First STONE baking conveyor oven! http://hotrocksoven.com/about-us/

Everyone loves bread. It's a diet staple around the world and the market is growing every year. A bit of bread for thought... In Canada, there are more than 1,200 retail bakeries, most of which are located in Ontario.
