The investment includes the construction of a new hatchery and new livestock buildings, which will double the duck processor’s annual production.
Canada-based Brome Lake Ducks acquired the former Viande Laroche beef plant, located in the Eastern Township municipality of Asbestos, for $30 million. The investment includes the construction of a new hatchery and new livestock buildings, which will double the duck processor’s annual production and create more than 150 new jobs over the next few years.
"Our new processing plant will occupy 51,000 square feet and will not only permit to consolidate the leadership of Brome Lake Ducks on its markets, but also ensures its growth and competitiveness by producing the quantities needed to meet the local and international demand," says Claude Trottier, president and COO.
