Today, Ruby Sahota, Member of Parliament for Brampton North, on behalf of Navdeep Bains,

Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for

FedDev Ontario, announced funding of up to $2 million to help Quality Cheese Inc. increase its

competitiveness and expand its production capabilities.

The Government of Canada is investing to help businesses and entrepreneurs become more

innovative, competitive and successful. This funding will support the installation of state-of-the-
art equipment at Quality Cheese Inc.’s new 64,000-square foot facility in Orangeville, Ontario.

These upgrades are expected to increase Quality Cheese’s production of specialty cheeses

including brie, camembert and blue cheese. The increased production capabilities will also

enable the company to scale up its operations to meet growing demand in domestic and

international markets.

Through this project, Quality Cheese Inc. will improve energy and water efficiencies in their

cheese production by integrating a water management system that improves environmental

performance. This responds to an increasing number of environmentally-conscious customers

who are looking for sustainable, locally-produced cheese.

This funding will also benefit local supply chains, including Ontario dairy farmers, as additional

products will be required to meet increased production demands.

Quick Facts

– The repayable contribution of up to $2 million is being provided through FedDev

Ontario’s Investing in Business Growth and Productivity initiative toward a total project

cost of $14.8 million.

– The project is expected to create up to 20 full-time jobs in Orangeville by project

completion in 2017. FedDev Ontario’s investment will leverage $1.2 million from the

provincial government and $11.57 million in private sector investment.

– Incorporated in 1988, Quality Cheese Inc. is a family-owned, award-winning producer of

speciality cheeses.

important to support companies that actively support their local economy and communities.”

“This funding from FedDev Ontario will enable Quality Cheese to increase our production
