Priya Industrie has announced the opening of its new food processing and packaging plant in Longueuil, Quebec, Canada.

Strategically located near Canada’s Saint-Hubert Airport, the new facility is the product of a CAD 19 million (approx. $14.18 milllion) investment. Operations at the 55,000-square-foot plant are scheduled to begin in April and will meet the market demand for production capacity and packaging subcontracting.

The site has 42,000 square feet of production space and 3,000 square feet of storage space and administrative office area. The facility’s production rooms are temperature optimised and refrigerated with CO₂ and its freezer storage can accommodate 536 pallets. Additionally, the site has four receiving/shipping docks to meet logistics needs.

Bill Angelopoulos, VP of Priya Industrie, said: “With this new production capacity, we now have the necessary tools to deploy our strategic growth plan for several years to come”.

Priya was founded in 2004 and specialises in the production and co-packing of quality food products.
