Smucker Foods of Canada invests millions in Sherbrooke milk-processing facility
The investment will help modernize the facility, allowing for increased production of local products.
Smucker Foods of Canada Corp., a Sherbrooke, Quebec-based subsidiary of the J.M. Smucker Co., Orrville, Ohio, said it made a $12 million investment in its Sherbrooke manufacturing facility. The facility, which has been a part of the Quebec community since 1939, produces Carnation evaporated milk and Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk products for Canadian consumers.
The investment, supported in part by funding from the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Agri-Food, will be used to upgrade equipment that will allow the facility to increase its flexibility and the variety of products produced, the company said. This improvement will also lead Smucker to broaden its sourcing of domestic milk.
