In an effort to strengthen its Canadian manufacturing capacity, Kraft Heinz plans to invest $250 million in its Montreal Mont Royal facility to support modernization efforts and reinforce its commitment to its manufacturing footprint in the country. Key plant systems will be upgraded and modernized to enhance operational efficiency, sustainability, and innovation that will support increased production volume.
“This investment underscores our more than 120-year-old commitment to Canada and producing the foods Canadians love right here at home,” said Simon Laroche, President of Kraft Heinz Canada. “This investment is a testament to the hard work and success of our Quebec employees. From Kraft Dinner to Philadelphia Cream Cheese and Kraft Peanut Butter, our Mont Royal facility plays a vital role in bringing these household staples to tables across the country.”
“Our government welcomes this significant investment. When a global leader like Kraft Heinz chooses Canada, they are not only doubling down on their footprint in Canada today—but also cementing their long-term future in our country,” said The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance and National Revenue. “This move recognizes the calibre of our highly skilled workforce and the resilience of our food industry. By bringing production here at home, we are securing our supply chains, supporting high-quality jobs, and ensuring Canada remains a premier destination for industrial growth.”
