Canada · Owned and managed by the founding families
Parrish & Heimbecker, known as P&H, is a Canadian family-owned agribusiness founded in 1909 by two grain-trading families: W.L. Parrish from Brandon, Manitoba and Norman Heimbecker from Hanover, Ontario. Members of both founding families still own and manage the company, which is based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. P&H combines trading and logistics with agricultural processing and covers several stages of the supply chain between the farm and the food manufacturer.
The group is organised in divisions that match those stages. P&H Grain buys and handles crops from farmers, and P&H Crop Inputs supplies the seed, fertiliser and crop protection products used to grow them. P&H Milling turns wheat into flour for bakers and food makers, while New-Life Mills produces livestock feed. P&H Foods runs egg grading and processing. For a farm this means one company can be a supplier of inputs and a buyer of grain at the same time.
Size of the business
The company reports more than 3,000 employees, over 90 locations and customers in 35 countries across the whole group, not only its grain elevators or feed mills.
Is New-Life Mills a separate company?
No. New-Life Mills is the feed and animal nutrition business of the P&H group.
Does every location provide the same services?
No. Each facility has its own role, products handled and delivery acceptance terms.
