en.Wedoany.com Reported - Factor Meals has launched a 50,000-square-foot kitchen and distribution center in Calgary, Canada, with the company revealing that this move aims to support nationwide ready-to-eat meal delivery services later this fall.
The new facility establishes Factor Meals' first production base in Western Canada and enables the company to expand its business beyond existing markets in Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritime provinces.
Ian Brooks, CEO of HelloFresh Canada, Factor Meals' parent company, stated that the launch of the Calgary kitchen is a key step in the company's growth in Canada. The facility allows the company to achieve nationwide service in the coming months, delivering fresh, nutritious, and convenient meals to millions of new households in western provinces.
The facility represents a public investment of CAD 3.6 million, including CAD 2.3 million through the Alberta Agri-Processing Investment Tax Credit and CAD 1.3 million through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership. The project is expected to create 400 jobs in production, logistics, and management.
Tara Sawyer, Alberta's Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation, noted that Factor Meals' new facility is a typical example of the province attracting significant investments in value-added processing. The Agri-Processing Investment Tax Credit and the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership help companies establish and grow their businesses in the province while leveraging some of the world's high-quality agricultural inputs. Such investments support local farmers, strengthen the agricultural sector, and help meet the growing demand for high-quality agricultural products.
Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas stated that this investment will strengthen the local economy by creating jobs and driving business growth. As Factor Meals expands in the city, Calgary residents will directly benefit from the creation of hundreds of jobs and the enhancement of the local economy. This expansion reflects the city's continued growth as an investment destination, with companies choosing to scale up, invest, and become part of a city that is diversifying and building long-term economic strength.
The company stated that the facility will source from regional suppliers and support food processing and distribution in Western Canada. Kevin Marban, General Manager of Factor Meals, said that with the addition of 400 jobs, the facility enables the company to work closely with local suppliers while delivering fresh meals directly to the doorsteps of customers in Western Canada. He expressed gratitude for the municipal and provincial partnerships and looks forward to continuing to support the local community.
