WINDSOR — Dainty Rice announces a capital investment of $20 million to enhance their Windsor facility with Ready-to-Heat rice production lines. This investment is intended to grow Dainty’s position in the North American private label market. Phase 1 is operational and Phase 2 is expected to be completed in early 2025.

Dainty Rice says they are also welcoming an influx of talent to their growing team. The enhancements at the Windsor plant bring further efficiency and sustainability to the forefront of their operations.

Dainty says their new production line is now fully operational, with the first Ready-to-Heat rice pouches rolling off the line and out to the retail market.

With the capability to produce a wide variety of rice, pulses, grains, and pastas in thousands of different recipes, Dainty says they are well-positioned to meet the growing demands of the private label sector across North America.

This expansion in North American production capacity hopes to enable Dainty to serve private label clients across the continent, offering 90-second Ready-to-Heat pouches of rice, grains, pulses and pastas.
