CLIC Internationl Inc

CLIC, which stands for the Canadian Lebanese Investment Corporation, was founded in 1979 by Mr. Assaad Abdelnour, the President of the company. Initially, he started his career in real estate commercial investments. Then, in 1984, after owning and operating a supermarket, he discovered a niche in the market that was lacking in the food industry. Still in a learning process and after extensive research and study, Mr. Abdelnour acquired more knowledge as well as a better understanding of the North American retail food business and thus founded CLIC Import Export. Today, with its multiple acquisitions, including a certified Canadian canning plant, CLIC Import Export has become one of the leaders in the production and the distribution of international food products. CLIC employs 185 people at 6 different locations throughout Canada and earned an annual sales figure of $44 millions in 2008 of which 25 % is attributed to its exporting activities to more than 30 countries.
