History
The origins of Guillevin International Co. date from a business founded in 1906 by François-Xavier Guillevin on Notre-Dame Street in Old Montreal. In 1965, Jeannine Guillevin Wood assumed the presidency of the business upon the death of her husband François, the son of François-Xavier. Under her leadership, the Company has expanded considerably through strategic acquisitions and the opening of numerous locations.
