9 - Processing, Manufacturing & Utilities

I work for Maple Leaf Fresh Foods. Ours is a "cut plant", which means we bring in hogs that have been slaughtered at another facility. Professional butchers cut them up and then we make shelf-ready products or prepare things for further processing.

This plant employs over 600, but Maple Leaf is a very large company with sales reps all over the world that also owns brands like Schneider's, Dempster's and Olivieri. The company is Canadian-owned. Our head office is in Burlington, Ontario.
