Maple Leaf Foods plans to consolidate, close plants
May 1, 2008
Maple Leaf Foods announced its new business plan including the sale of its primary pork processing plant in Burlington, Ontario, and a five-year restructuring, which will shift its focus from primary protein operations to value-added meat and meals.
The Toronto-based Maple Leaf also said that it plans to cut a second-shift operation at its Brandon, Manitoba, plant by September 2008 and to close its fresh pork processing plant in Winnipeg.
In addition, the company said construction of a new distribution center in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, almost is complete and an expansion to consolidate its value-added ham boning operations is underway at Maple Leaf’s Lagimodiere Road plant in Winnipeg.
