Nova Scotia food manufacturer boosts production, adds new full-time jobs, and strengthens supply chains
Canadian consumers are looking for more food products made at home. The Government of Canada is investing in domestic manufacturers working to meet that demand, as they upgrade equipment, increase production, and create good jobs.
Today, Braedon Clark, Member of Parliament for Sackville-Bedford-Preston, announced federal support to help CanaPacking expand and modernize its blending mix plant in Dartmouth ($475,000). The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada and Minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.
The contribution will support a major facility expansion, strengthen CanaPacking's workforce with seven to 10 new full-time positions, and add automated equipment. The new technology will enable CanaPacking to produce stand-up, resealable pouches that protect product freshness while using less material than traditional packaging. These upgrades will allow the company to make more products, package them on site, and meet growing demand from customers across Canada and globally.
Today's announcement further demonstrates the Government of Canada's commitment to helping businesses scale, innovate, and compete.
