History

The company was founded in 1987 with the construction of its first 30,000 sq. m. (300,000 sq. ft) greenhouse, following an R&D project conducted from 1980 to 1986. After a series of expansions, the company currently operates a total greenhouse area of 72,850 sq. m. (784,000 sq. ft.). From 1995 to 2006, Mirabel's development is ensured by the financial support of the Solidarity Fund QFL.

In the first decade of 2000, the partnership and senior management underwent some changes. Sylvain Terrault and Martin Desrochers became equal shareholders of the company.
