The new office includes a laboratory, distribution center and what is said to be Canada's largest dairy R&D center.
Canada-based Agropur Dairy Cooperative officially opened its new head office complex in Longueuil, Quebec, Canada. The $100 million, near-90,000-square-meter facility keeps Agropur's decision-making center in Quebec. Eventually, 800 employees will work at the smart, collaborative offices, which have been integrated into their natural setting.
"We are proud to open our new head office here in Longueuil," says Serge Riendeau, president. "It represents a major investment and long-term commitment to Quebec in keeping with our members' vision of corporate sustainability. We have spent a total of $100 million on this project, which includes our head office and a new laboratory; the head office complex also includes a distribution center and Canada's largest dairy R&D center. Agropur, now the world's 16th largest dairy processor by milk volume, has equipped itself with a modern head office that reflects its cooperative values."
