Great Sheets Wins Great New Brunswick Exporter Award

Andreanne International Inc. based in Bouctouche, New Brunswick receives 2006 New Brunswick Export Achievement Award.


Andreanne International Inc. based in Bouctouche, New Brunswick was announced as a 2006 New Brunswick Export Achievement Award Winner.

The awards were handed out at a ceremony on May 24th in Fredericton to three New Brunswick companies. The export achievement awards recognize outstanding performance in export and trade based on sales, innovation, and unique solutions to international challenges.

Congraulations to this wonderful New Brunswick success story. I love this product because it represents an example of a small business that can find a niche in the marketplace and fill it. It is what New Brunswick needs several hundred more of, if we are to continue to grow New Brunswick successfully as an economy.

I love the product and sleep on these type of sheets in the winter in my Pointe du Chene cottage home, where the wind comes in off Shediac Bay and challenges the insulation of my cottage walls in the winter nights. These sheets are thin and fantastic as light weight insulating sheets.

Great product. Great news. Find them and buy them. They are available in Co-op stores ( natch), and perhaps in leading retailers now. Will get a localintheknow on that story and post a list where you can buy these fantastic sheets for your bed.

Hats off to the company and it's hard working founders. The award recipients are recognized under three categories:

  • total sales under $5,000,000,
  • total sales between $5,000,000 and,
  • $25,000,000 and total sales over $25,000,000.
Andreanne International was honoured with the Export Development Canada award for sales under $5,000,000. This award was presented by Jeff MacArthur of Export Development Canada to Eric Lemay President of Andreanne International Inc.

Other award recipients included Precision Metal Works Ltd. for total sales between $5,000,000 and $25,000,000 and ADI Systems Inc. for total sales over $25,000,000.

Since 1987, Andreanne has been producing their premiere product Brunswick Sheets TM. This family owned and operated business has continually expanded and created a state-of-the art automated production facility employing twenty-three people.

Andreanne International Inc. has extended the reach of Brunswick Sheets to not only include Canada, the United States and New Zealand but mostly recently the United Kingdom.

The awards are a joint venture between the Province of New Brunswick and the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters. The achievement awards give recognition to the important role manufacturers and exporters play in the provincial economy.
