Jefo to invest $30m in new production plant

Jefo, a global leader in high performance non-medicated nutritional solutions for animals, officially announced its plan to build a new 200,000 sq. ft. production plant in Saint-Hyacinthe, Que.

This new building, estimated at $30 million, will be located in the Théo-Phénix Industrial Park. The area, acquired in 2018, is strategic due to its proximity to the other Jefo Group facilities, which include, among others, a transportation company, a transshipment site, research centers for poultry nutrition, warehouses, the production plant and the Jefo Campus, which was inaugurated in 2017 to become Jefo's headquarters, a center for knowledge exchange on agribusiness and a meeting venue for leaders of all industries in the region of Saint-Hyacinthe.

"We aim to generate $1 billion in revenue by 2025, so this project is necessary to support our current growth and ambitious goal. In addition to increasing our production capacity, the new production plant will reduce the risk of producing in a single facility," Jefo Group vice president Jean-François Fontaine said.

The first phase of the project consists of two production lines, with potential expansion to six lines, which translates to the creation of 20 new jobs in the near future and 60 in the long run, the company said. Jefo's current production plant features four production lines that generate more than 5,000 tons of animal feed additives annually. These products are marketed in more than 80 countries.

Founded in 1982, the family-owned company employs more than 320 people globally.
