Nortera, a trusted Canadian provider of quality frozen and canned vegetable processing and marketing, announced the acquisition of the Green Giant and Le Sieur brands in Canada from U.S.-based B&G Foods, subject to regulatory approval and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. 

The transaction will bring two of Canada's favorite brands into Canadian ownership. Nortera has been the exclusive producer of Green Giant and Le Sieur in Canada for 30 years.

The Green Giant brand includes a range of frozen and shelf stable vegetable products supplied in Canada that complement Nortera's existing portfolio of trusted brands which Canadian consumers know and love, including Arctic Gardens and Del Monte.

"Nortera remains steadfast in delivering high-quality canned and frozen vegetables that Canadians love and trust. With decades of expertise as the trusted manufacturing partner behind the Green Giant and Le Sieur brands in Canada, this acquisition ensures that these iconic brands, long produced in Canada, are now also locally owned", said Hugo Boisvert, CEO of Nortera.

With Canadian operations spanning eight facilities, more than 2,100 employees and partnerships with over 400 local producers, the acquisition of Green Giant and Le Sieur is one more example of Nortera's commitment to consumers, retailers and growers.
