Cavendish Farms opens new $430M frozen potato processing plant
The new state-of-the-art plant replaces Cavendish Farms’ previous plant, and will almost triple production capacity in Lethbridge.
Cavendish Farms, Canada, opened the doors to its frozen potato processing plant in Lethbridge, Canada.
“It is a great day for Lethbridge and for our employees, growers, suppliers and customers. Our new state-of-the-art plant is up and running, and will allow us to continue to serve key export markets around the world,” says Robert Irving, president. “There were many reasons we were able to expand our operation in Lethbridge and grow in Alberta. It starts with the availability of high-quality potatoes from local growers, the can-do attitude of our Lethbridge employees and the dedicated effort of the project team and the hundreds of vendors who contributed to this project.”
