Where does the “Lallemand” name come from ?

Did you know that our company is called Lallemand, after the nickname of the first owner?

Lallemand was founded in Montreal, Canada at the end of the 19th century by Fred A. Schurer, a young immigrant from Alsace, France. His German-sounding family name earned him the nickname “l’Allemand” or “the German” among the local population. He quickly embraced this moniker, going so far as to share it with his newly-founded company, and even changing his last name to Lallemand.
