Maple Leaf Foods Closes Wiener Production Facility
Canada-based Maple Leaf Foods Inc. closed its wiener production facility on Brockley Road in Hamilton, Canada, and transferred production to its new prepared meats facility, also in Hamilton.
"We are in the final phase of completing a transformation of our prepared meats network," says Michael McCain, president and CEO. "We have established world-class facilities and technologies to step-change our profitability and competitiveness. This year, the focus is on shifting production to these new facilities, closing legacy plants and realizing related cost and productivity gains. We are doing this in a way that is respectful of our people and provides them ongoing employment opportunities wherever possible. A low-cost, highly efficient network will provide a strong platform for growth and support Canada's broader agrifood sector."
