Lovo, formerly Nutri Group, officially opens its 600,000-sf egg industrial campus in the Saint-Hyacinthe industrial park.
The project consists of a grading plant, an experimental kitchen and multidisciplinary workshop spaces (R&D, nutrition, recipe development, commercialization), a food processing plant (to-be built) and administrative offices.
The project is receiving $1.6 million in financial support from Québec’s Ministère de l’Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l’Alimentation (MAPAQ) and is also eligible for a loan of up to $20 million from Investissement Québec.
“The industrial egg campus marks a turning point in our company’s history,” said Lovo CEO Sébastien Léveillé. “It will allow us to do more processing right here in Quebec, develop new food products, and continue to grow while remaining deeply rooted in the lives of Canadian farmers. With this project, Lovo is taking a decisive step forward by building a truly integrated platform for agri-food innovation.”
