GUSTA: 100% vegan!
At GUSTA, we’re passionate about vegan food and the environment. Our mission is to make the planet discover delicious foods that are good for, for everyone … and, well, for the planet (obviously). We also make sure to have fun when we’re doing it!
Sylvain Karpinski
|
CEO
Foodie, driven by vegan causes and passionate about entrepreneurship, Sylvain founded GUSTA with the idea of creating a socially minded business at the cutting edge of good business practices. Polyglot, traveller and humanist, he likes good beer and joking around.
Véronique Biron
|
Director of Talents and Culture
Véronique is both the glue and the mentor who accompanies our employees in their development, promoting in turn the vegan lifestyle. In her spare time, she tends to her urban garden where she attempts to negotiate amnesty with a gang of squirrels.
Frédéric Boucher
|
Sales Director
Self-avowed foodie and passionate about good vegan food, Fred loves conducting business and business development. A heavy metal music fan and a cyclist in his spare time, he’s hopelessly devoted to his beagle, Django, and is convinced that environmental protection starts with what we choose to put in our plates.
Inès Schmidt

Marketing Manager
Unmatched strategist with a global vision, Inès is the “Frenchiest” member of our team. She’s travelled a lot, is fearless and likes to challenge herself. Warning: her humour and joie-de-vivre are contagious. To find out more, send her a quick email.
Charles Castonguay Bastien
|
Quality Assurance Manager
Charles, our favourite bearded guy with an insatiable appetite, looks like a former footballer converted into a manager that doesn’t wear a tie, and it suits him! He ensures that our quality is always up to pare throughout various company projects.
Delphine Snyers
|
Production manager
Former national industrial bakery star, Delphine takes pleasure in planning, optimizing and taking care of our wheat to ensure happy and harmonious production. She loves pop music, rain and good weather.
Jean-François Gagné
|
Logistics Manager
King of the underground dance tracks of Quebec’s metropolis, Jeffo handles our supply chain with an iron fist and ensures that our sausages reach their destination. He proudly wears his GUSTA cap and loves to eat raw garlic cloves: he says it’s good for the complexion.
Our mission
We make tasty and easy-to-cook vegan products to promote plant-based foods that contribute to making a better world.
Our values

- Environment: We’re committed to protecting the environment by reducing our carbon footprint.
- Social justice: We advocate for greater social justice, support animal rights and act in a straightforward and transparent way.

- Innovation: We’re at the forefront of innovation when it comes to our recipes, products, processes and business practices.
