Fiera Foods - Exporting Ontario’s Best
Fiera Foods was started 25 years ago by my owners, Alex and Boris. They came to Canada
and basically started a business from scratch. And now we have a 200-million-dollar company
with 80 per cent of our products being shipped outside of Canada. It’s a phenomenal success
story. Main thing it’s obviously we have a great
flour here, a good labour force, good water, good source of energy and easy access to the
plants for the labour so those things is that everything counts for success.
I think as far as the future goes, I think things here at Fiera are very bright. We have
a very competitive cost structure and we can compete globally toe-to-toe with any manufacturer
in the world from a bakery perspective. We have a very deep innovation pipeline that’s
taking a long time to put in place but now is really fuelling our growth. We have phenomenal
employees here and we have a culture of growth. And the international marketplace, while it
does take some time in order to get yourself established and build your business, once
you do it can provide endless opportunities for continued growth and that’s what we
find really exciting here at Fiera.
