Misionero Vegetables is opening its new state of the art, 70,000 Sq. Ft. processing facility in Brantford, Ontario. The facility which has recently commenced production, supplies customers daily in the North East Markets, according to a press release.


“We are excited with this new processing facility, offering additional value for our customers. It is strategically located to service the North East Markets. This location was selected for its skilled labor force, easier access to customers and the opportunity to bring a respected industry veteran, Hugh Bowman into the Misionero Group to head this operation,” said Stephen Griffin, President and CEO of Misionero Vegetables.


The facility will be producing both organic and conventional salads in addition to new product lines slated to debut in the coming year.


Hugh Bowman, President of Misionero Ltd. stated, “I’m excited about the opportunities in the North East Markets. I feel Misionero is positioned well as a company to handle both national and regional business opportunities.”


Dan Canales, VP of Sales and Marketing, comments, “We researched various geographical areas for regional processing in both the U.S and Canada; an opportunity presented itself with Hugh Bowman in Ontario. Hugh’s experience, reputation and involvement in the produce landscape, aligned perfectly with what we want to accomplish in the coming years.”


The new facility is strategically located to deliver to the most populated cities in the North East and will accommodate new growth and enable Misionero to continue to maintain its valued customer service to expanding clientele.


Congratulations Misionero, on your new venture!
