Canada-based cookies, crackers, and bars manufacturer Leclerc Foods has announced the acquisition of a 790,197 square-foot production facility in Brockville, Ontario.

The acquisition is part of the company’s strategy to expand the business where C$100 million will be invested over the next five years and 200 new jobs will be created within the first two years of operation.
