Igloo Cellulose Inc. company

Igloo Cellulose Inc. company is the Canadian manufacturer of Igloo cellulose.

A pioneer for over 40 years.

Igloo Cellulose Inc. was founded in 1978 by the late Russell Fiset.

Pioneers in the field at the time, we relied on research and development as well as the optimisation and refinement of production processes to produce a top-of-the-range product that was efficient, safe and in line with our environmental imperatives.

In March 2020, ISO GREEN GROUP (France) with its partners Harnam Kakkar, FCPA, FCMA and Daniel Béland B. Sc. A., MBA acquired 100% of the shares of Igloo Cellulose Inc. from the Fiset family.

“To improve the energy efficiency and comfort of human dwellings in an environmentally sensitive way, by recycling and converting newsprint into high-quality cellulose insulation to be applied to the structures of houses and buildings.”

Why put your trust in Igloo Cellulose Inc. ?

In 2007, we opened our own research centre to continually improve the quality of our product and develop new application techniques. As a result, our product has exceeded the highest international standards, both in terms of manufacturing and safety. We are proud to have been awarded GREENGUARD and ISO 9001 certification.

Always doing better for you

We will never stop promoting the use of reliable technologies and processes for the effective application of cellulose to ensure maximum thermal insulation of building envelopes exposed to extreme climatic conditions.
We are proud to have become one of Canada’s and the world’s leading cellulose manufacturers.

The success was immediate and growing. To meet demand, our production plant gradually expanded from 16,000 to 48,000 square feet.

Our modern facilities, equipped with numerous automated systems to guarantee product stability and quality, now have the capacity to produce thousands of bags of cellulose every year.
