Danone, the global dairy firm, has announced a major investment in its Boucherville plant in Canada to increase the company’s production capacity and strengthen its brands such as Oikos, Activia and Danone.
The investment will support growth through a 40% uplift in yoghurt tub production and a 20% increase in the intake and processing of Canadian raw milk.
Commenting on the move, Danone Canada president Frederic Guichard said: “Canadians are embracing healthier choices, and the rising popularity of yogurt, especially high‑protein varieties, speaks volumes. Nutritious and accessible, yogurt has become a staple for families. This significant investment underscores our commitment to supporting local production and delivering on what we do best at Danone: bringing health through food”.
Danone Danone Canada vice‑president, operations Geraldine Moret added: “Through growth, innovation and sustainability of our operations, we are proud to reaffirm our position as a major food producer in Canada and to lead by example when it comes to improving the sustainability of our products and operations”.
Construction has already started, with a new production line expected to be fully operational in 2026.
