Danone to expand flagship Quebec plant

Danone Canada makes the largest investment ever made by the company in Canada to expand its flagship Boucherville plant in Quebec. This initiative aims to increase the company’s production capacity for yogurt tubs by 40 per cent as well as receive and process Canadian raw milk by 20 per cent.

Fully funded by Danone Canada, construction has begun at the Boucherville site, and a new production line will be operational in 2026.

“Canadians are embracing healthier choices, and the rising popularity of yogurt, especially high‑protein varieties, speaks volumes. Nutritious and accessible, yogurt has become a staple for families. This significant investment underscores our commitment to supporting local production and delivering on what we do best at Danone: bringing health through food.” says Frederic Guichard, president, Danone Canada.

Additionally, an investment in new energy‑recovery equipment will strengthen the company’s commitment to sustainable operations. This project is part of ÉcoPerformance, a Quebec government program stemming from the Plan for a Green Economy 2030.

This investment is in addition to the $9-million announced in June 2025 to launch the production of new individual yogurt cups made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin.
