$14 MILLION INVESTED IN
NEW PROCESSING PLANT
The company’s Agromex division over-
sees the slaughter and meat-cutting plant,
which processes about 15 percent of Que-
bec’s total hog production annually. The
company invested $14 million into the
plant last year, which allowed them to ex-
pand departments, add new equipment
and increase production capacity for prod-
ucts destined for international markets.
The grain division, a rigorously managed
transport services program, and their
highly-skilled research division round out
the company’s operations. Finally, the
company-owned retail butcher shops pro-
vide customers with an opportunity to buy
directly from the farmer, a concept that is
growing in popularity among consumers
concerned about the sources of their food.
Commitment to quality, innovation and
long-standing traditions will serve F. Me-
nard as they look to the future. Long-term
plans include expanding their processing
capacity, continually improving animal wel-
fare in their breeding facilities and ongoing
progress in environmental protection. Be-
coming “best in the world” is within their
sights.
