Jefo to invest $30 million in a new production plant
JEFO, a global leader in high-performance non- medicated nutritional solutions for animals, officially announced its plan to build a new 200,000sq ft production plant in Saint-Hyacinthe, Canada.
This new building will be located in the Théo- Phénix Industrial Park.
The area, acquired in 2018, is strategic due to its proximity to other Jefo Group facilities, which include, among others, a transportation company, a trans-shipment site, re- search centres for poultry nutrition, warehouses, the production plant and the Jefo Campus that was in- augurated in 2017 to be- come Jefo’s headquarters, a centre for knowledge exchange on agribusiness and a privileged meeting venue for leaders of all industries in the region of Saint-Hyacinthe.
Jefo Group vice presi-
dent Jean-François Fon- taine said, “We aim to generate $1 billion in rev- enue by 2025, so this pro- ject is necessary to sup- port our current growth and ambitious goal.”
“In addition to increas- ing our production capac- ity, the new production plant will reduce the risk of producing in a single facility.”
The first phase of the project consists of two production lines, with po- tential expansion to six lines, which translates to the creation of 20 new jobs in the near future and 60 in the long run.
Jefo’s current production plant features four pro- duction lines that generate more than 5000 tonnes of animal feed additives annually.
These products are mar- keted in more than 80 countries.
Founded in 1982, the family owned company
employs over 320 people globally.
Jefo aims to improve an- imal health and increase human longevity by of- fering better sources of protein for the growing population.
Jefo wishes to improve animal health and in- crease human longevity by feeding growing popu- lations with better protein sources.
With its ‘life, made eas- ier commitment in mind’, Jefo uses a practical ap- proach to share its results based on complex scien- tific research and testing methods, while imple- menting different solu- tions via its programs for the different life stages of production animals: Jefo Care – Health and Preven- tion; Jefo Peak – Perform- ance and Production; and Jefo Cycle –Reproduction.
