Commercial Baker to Benefit from New-to-Canada Pastry Processing Technology
(firmenpresse) - SCARBOROUGH, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 02/12/15 -- Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz today announced that the Government of Canada will invest $4.9 million to help Tradition Fine Foods Limited become one of the leading laminated and frozen pastry makers in North America. He was joined by Member of Parliament Roxanne James (Scarborough Centre).
This investment will be used to expand the company''s existing bakery and for the purchase and installation of new-to-Canada pastry processing technology. The new state-of-the-art equipment, which includes a laminated pastry line (the process of alternating dough and fat - such as butter - when making pastry), overhead cooling tunnel and high speed make-up line, will double manufacturing capacity and improve operating efficiencies. This will allow the firm to respond to incremental market opportunities in North America.
