Nestlé Growing in Trenton - McGuinty Government Supports Ontario Food Processors, Creates Jobs

Ontario is helping Nestlé Canada increase production at its Trenton Plant to create jobs and strengthen food processing in Eastern Ontario.

With support from Ontario's Rural Economic Development Program, Nestlé Canada will add 30,000 square feet of manufacturing and storage space and install new equipment at its Trenton facility. This will enable the company to:

" create 28 new jobs and retain more than 300 positions
" add new production lines and product offerings
" increase production capacity by up to 20 per cent

A strong agri-food industry is part of the McGuinty government's plan to create jobs and opportunities that will grow the province's economy.
