It will add 80 employees, bringing the total to about 500.
Olymel president and chief executive officer Rejean Nadeau said that “by acquiring the space and equipment needed to pre-package products directly at the plant, Olymel will be able to better serve clients who require large volumes of pre-packaged poultry products for their needs.
“Olymel will thus bring operations that used to take place externally in-house, enabling it to reduce product handling and transportation time, and have better control over quality, order management and logistics.
"After the recent difficult months marked by the pandemic, it is also a sign of confidence in the future,” Nadeau said.
