Strengthening Ontario's Hog Industry

A Perth County food processor is improving its processing facility in Mitchell to increase pork production and expand market opportunities.

Great Lakes Specialty Meats is purchasing new equipment, increasing refrigeration capacity, and providing specialized training for employees. These changes will help the plant deliver high-quality pork products to new domestic and international markets. It also means the company will be able to increase its production from 5,000 to 15,000 hogs per week.

Ontario is investing $2 million in this partnership that will create up to 160 new jobs, retain more than 80 positions, support local hog farmers and strengthen Perth County. A strong agri-food industry is part of the Open Ontario plan to create jobs and opportunities that will boost the province's economy.
