The Canadian division of McCain Foods is investing $12 million in its potato processing facility in Florenceville, New Brunswick.

The investment will add capacity to the existing lines that produces French fries for the company’s food service and retail businesses.

The expansion will be completed in two stages, the first of which has already begun and the second phase completing the project in early 2020.

This capacity build will require an additional 1,000 acre) of potatoes from local growers in the community.

It follows a $65 Million dollar investment adding a new potato specialty line to the same production facility in 2017.

“McCain French fries continue to be in high demand and we are investing in a strong and sustainable future,” says Danielle Barran, President of McCain Foods Canada.

“Investing in Florenceville, the birthplace of McCain, where we have long-standing relationships with employees, the community and with local potato growers always feels great.”
