About Us

Tipiak offers its Canadian consumers a range of products that are healthy, tasty and easy to use thus allowing to add a bit of extravagance in their daily lives! Knowing how to combine the respect of the tradition and the search for culinary innovation: it is the secret of the daily commitment of Tipiak towards its consumers!

Since 1830, the history of Tipiak is intimately linked to the maritime tradition of the West part of France, and to these sailboats which sailed the seas, and brought back commodities from elsewhere.

Born from the union of 2 century-old companies specialized in the culinary aid, Groult et Billard, Tipiak turns to the world, from its inception, by marketing tapioca coming from Brazil. Tipiak has first conquered the French market by proposing an offer of original and gourmet grocery products which meet the requirements of practicality, quality and balance of today’s consumers.

As the leader in France of grain side dishes, Tipiak relies on its ability to innovate, and its culinary know-how to make you discover products perfectly adapted to the expectations of consumers across the world.

In the middle of the nineteenth century, sailboats, commonly called “clippers”, sailed the ocean to bring their cargo of tapioca from Brazil for the Maison Groult, which, right from the start, printed a drawing of a sailboat on all the packaging of its products.

Even today, wishing to remain faithful to its maritime tradition and its pioneering spirit, Tipiak combines the image of the sailboat to its logo. The entire company clearly demonstrates the taste for a challenge with pride, and the conquest which has staked its route since the beginning.

From tapioca to Tipiak!

Tipiak turns to the world, from its inception, by marketing the tapioca coming from Brazil.  Its name is derived from “tipi’og” or “tipi’ak”, word designating the tapioca starch in the language of the Guarani from Brazil.
