Canada · Privately owned family company
McCain Foods is a privately owned Canadian family company specialising in prepared potato products and appetizers. Its corporate head office is in Toronto, and its founding location is Florenceville in Canada. The business is organised around foodservice solutions and retail consumer brands, and beyond processing it is also involved in seed potato cultivation. Alongside the McCain name, its brands include Ore-Ida, Lutosa, Brew City, Harvest Splendor and Strong Roots.
For potato growers, McCain shows how a processor's requirements shape the crop in the field. Fries and other frozen products depend on tubers of the right variety, size, dry matter content and storage quality, because these traits decide how the potato fries, its colour and how much finished product each tonne yields. Growers therefore plan acreage around contract specifications and weigh the price received against irrigation, storage and transport costs and any deductions after delivery quality assessments.
Size of the business
McCain reports sales in more than 160 countries and 49 production facilities worldwide, figures that describe the whole group.
