Kraft-Heinz announced it is going to invest $250 million to refurbish its facility in Montreal.
It employs 1,000 people running 41 manufacturing lines making everything from peanut butter to salad dressings.
“Our business in Canada is doing very well,” Simon Laroche, who leads Kraft Heinz in Canada. “As we’re looking at our three to five year plans, what we have right now is not enough to meet Canadian demand and needs.”
Laroche said the company wants to make more Philadelphia Cream Cheese and Heinz ketchup and also wants to bring innovation to existing products to meet changing consumer preferences, including offering more packaging sizes to meet different shopper budgets.
