Diageo, the UK alcoholic beverages multinational, has announced plans to close its bottling facility in Ontario, Canada by February 2026.
In a statement, the company said the decision was part of its strategy to increase the efficiency and resilience of its manufacturing footprint in North America. The company will otherwise maintain its existing footprint across Canada, including its headquarters and warehousing operations in the Great Toronto Area and Quebec.
“This was a difficult decision, but one that is crucial to improving the efficiency and resiliency of our supply chain network” commented Marsha McIntosh, Diageo president of North America supply. “All Crown Royal will be mashed, distilled, and aged at our Canadian facilities, just as it has been for nearly a century, and will continue to be the great whisky our consumers know and love”.
