About Lactalis Canada’s Sudbury Facility
Established in 1962 and located at 500 Barry Downe Road, Lactalis Canada’s Sudbury facility was a fully operational milk processing plant for six decades. In 2022, Lactalis Canada began renovation to convert the site into a 33,150 sq. ft., state-of-art plant-based facility. The facility reopened in April 2024 and is now Lactalis Canada’s first dedicated plant-based facility and home to its new plant-based Enjoy! brand – a nutritious and delicious, unsweetened, high protein line of plant-based beverages now in market. Lactalis Canada looks forward to continuing to play a vital role in the region through its economic and social contribution.
