Our History
We are all about families
Our story goes all the way back to 1925. This is one of the reasons we truly understand how important fairness and teamwork are. Over time, we have developed a close relationship with our producers. We consider them part of our family.
In fact, these core values combined with our dedication to remaining transparent have earned us a solid reputation for ensuring the well-being of our 2,000 members and providing our clients with industry-leading customer service.
We are proud of the work of our members and the products they enable us to offer our customers.
We grow together
COOPERATION IS A STRENGTH […] OUR STRENGTH IS THE HUMAN CAPITAL THAT PROVIDES MAJOR BENEFITS FOR OUR MEMBERS AND THE COMMUNITY. AT CITADELLE, WE DON’T THINK IN THE SHORT TERM. WE FOCUS ON THE LONG TERM WITH FUTURE GENERATIONS IN MIND.
-René Arès, president 1991-2006
