Piller’s Fine Foods Announces Expansion Plans for Brantford

Piller’s Fine Foods has announced plans to build a $19.1 million expansion to their processing facility in Brantford, Ontario.

The new 27,000 square feet addition will house leading-edge, automated processing equipment and additional production equipment to support the company’s growth strategy.

According to Trent Hilpert, President of Piller’s Fine Foods, “The Brantford facility expansion will enable Piller’s to meet the growing consumer demand for our premium products. It will also allow for continued innovation and further portfolio expansion in key categories.”

The existing facility was built in 2004 and employs 130 full-time production and office staff. Once the expansion is completed, 15 new full-time jobs are expected to be added within the expanded facility. Construction on the expansion started late last month, with planned start-up to commence in Q4 2021.

“We are so pleased to have a long-standing and respected employer like Piller’s expand operations in our community,” says Kevin Finney, Director of Economic Development and Tourism for the City of Brantford. “We strongly support Piller’s continued leadership in this important sector and their vital contribution to our local economy.”
