Oxford Frozen Foods is making a $8.54-million capital investment that will create an improved packaging line to meet increasing demand for export and increase efficiency and production levels.
The company, that last year celebrated its 50th anniversary in oxford, is receiving a maximum of $2.135-million in innovation rebate through Nova Scotia Business Inc. upon completion of the project that will begin later this year and be completed by the first quarter of 2020.
The largest producer of wild blueberries in North America, Oxford Frozen Foods also processes and packages carrots and battered products. It’s the world’s largest supplier of quality frozen blueberries.
“It’s about trying to improve our overall quality while also allowing us to put more product through at the same time,” Jordan Burkhardt, director of administration with Oxford Frozen Foods, told the Amherst News on July 17. “It really comes down to creating new markets. This allows us to expand the market for wild blueberries by being able to put more product through.”
