Lactalis to lease dairy facility in Ontario
Lactalis Canada is entering into a long-term lease for a new distribution centre in Oshawa, Ontario, principally for its cheese and table spreads supply chain network. It is set to open in Q4/2024.
The 35,210 sqm site will consolidate multiple shipping locations – including the internally-operated Belleville, Ontario distribution centre – into a central, modern facility.
Eric Seguin, senior vice president, supply, Lactalis Canada: “The Oshawa distribution centre is poised to meet the current needs and future demands of our business and customers, while its sustainable design will transform our network effectiveness and contribute to Lactalis Canada’s ESG agenda in reducing its carbon footprint.”
The facility is expected to create approximately 80 jobs in Oshawa and the surrounding region, adding to more than 4,200 employees in 30 operating sites in Canada. (mk)
