McCain invests in local production facility in Russia
As a global company, McCain Foods operates in 160 countries around the world, with 51 facilities in local markets to best serve our customers.
After more than 20 years of importing frozen products from our European plants for sale in Russia and neighbouring countries, McCain has decided to localize production in Russia to supply customers in the area with processed French fries and other specialty potato appetizers.
McCain has announced an investment of $150 million Euros into a production facility that will be located in the Tula Oblast region. The plant will create 200 new jobs.
Working closely with farmers to source high-quality raw potatoes, McCain Foods will continue to lead innovation in frozen potato products that meet growing market demand for locally sourced and prepared products across a range of cuisines in markets around the world.
The ethics and perspective of being a family-owned business from a small town in New Brunswick is at the core of how McCain Foods makes business decisions, cares for its employees and engages with local customers around the globe.
