McCain, the leading potato processor, has announced it is investing C$80 million ($60 million) to increase capacity for formed potato specialities in Canada, to meet growing demand from retail and foodservice customers.
The firm said the creation of the new high-speed formed potato speciality line at its Grand Falls plant in New Brunswick would strengthen its potato processing presence both in Canada and North America. The new production line will be operational by early 2021 and will feature advanced technology for process efficiency as well as state-of-the-art food safety, processing and packaging equipment, McCain added.
Commenting on the move, Dale McCarthy, vice president of integrated supply chain at McCain Foods North America, said: “With today’s announcement, both the Grand Falls facility and the recent Florenceville expansion will provide McCain Foods with two of the largest Formed Specialty lines in the industry”.
