Maple Leaf to sell Ontario pork plant
// 07 May 2008
This site processes more than 2 million pigs a year.
Maple Leaf lost
$10,000 in the first quarter of this year, but officials say a new business plan
is on track to improve earnings for the Canadian company. A five-year
restructuring will shift the company's focus from primary protein operations to
value-added meat and meals.
More closures
The company also
envisages to start a second-shift cut operation at its plant in Brandon,
Manitoba by September of this year and to close its fresh pork processing plant
in Winnipeg.
A large expansion is underway at its Lagimodiere Road plant
in Winnipeg, involving consolidation of its value-added ham-boning operations.
Also, construction of a new distribution centre in Saskatoon is nearing
completion.
