Food processor Bridor is investing more than $200 million over five years in its North American production plants.
The European-style bakery company has earmarked $170 million for its Boucherville, Que. plant where it’s expanding the building and installing new production lines to increase its pastry production capacity by 68 per cent by next year.
The company’s Vineland, N.J. operation will receive $30 million.
A recruitment plan aims to create nearly 200 jobs in Canada and the U.S., half of them in Boucherville.
The French company based in Brittany operates four bakeries in North America with more than 600 in Canada, and 200 in the U.S.
The company markets the Bridor and Au Pain Doré brands, supplying major distributors, as well as grocery, restaurant and hotel chains in both Canada and the U.S.
