“We are experiencing strong growth in Canada and the US. Our production lines are fillling up and we have need of more capacity,” Jean-François Duquesne, CEO of Bridor’s North American arm, told just-food. “The extension of the Vineland plant focuses on the addition of production unit for viennese pastry, which we currently don’t manufacture in the US.”
Bridor already has three plants in and around Montreal. Part of French baker and restaurant company Groupe Le Duff, Bridor has an annual turnover of around EUR400m.
