What Alain Royer consultant inc does

Alain Royer consultant inc, operating as Royer Groupe Laitier Dairy Group, is a Quebec-based B2B food ingredient distributor founded in 1922 and headquartered in Boucherville. The company supplies dairy ingredients, whey proteins, lactose, caseins, butter, milk powders, and specialized nutritional and functional ingredients — including phosphates, emulsifiers, stabilizers, and bioactive peptides — to food manufacturers, dairy processors, bakeries, confectionery producers, nutrition and nutraceutical companies, and institutional food service operators (hotels, restaurants, hospitals, cafeterias) across Canada with international logistics capability.

The company's product portfolio is organized by vertical: Boulangerie (bakery), Confection (confectionery), Industrie laitière (dairy processing), Nutrition (sports nutrition and supplements), Services alimentaires (food service / HRI), and Pharmaceutique et nutraceutique (pharmaceutical and nutraceutical). Notable proprietary or exclusive offerings include Lactium®, a clinically validated bioactive milk protein hydrolysate containing alpha-casozepine (f91-100) with stress-reduction properties, distributed in partnership with Ingredia Nutritional, and the ICL (formerly BK Giulini) product range covering Brifisol®, Bekaplus®, and Joha® phosphate, emulsifier, and stabilizer lines.

Revenue is generated through transactional product sales across multiple verticals, with pricing likely negotiated per customer and order volume in line with standard B2B distribution practice. The company employs 11-50 people, is privately held with no disclosed parent company or external investors, and relies on direct B2B sales relationships as its primary go-to-market motion, supplemented by key strategic distributor partnerships with European ingredient manufacturers.
