Rogers Foods Ltd announced a new event
Rogers Foods announces major mill expansion at Chilliwack site
The local food-processing industry just got a major shot in the arm. A new flour mill is set to be built by Rogers Foods in Chilliwack that will boost its capacity by a whopping 80 per cent. "The decision to expand was made because sales have overfilled capacity of the plant," said Vic Bell, president of Rogers Foods Ltd., a subsidiary of Nisshin Flour Milling Inc. Once the new mill is built on Simpson Road, the total combined capacity, including the Armstrong plant, will see 770 metric tonnes per day of wheat milled — an increase of about 50 per cent. The Chilliwack mill underwent an expansion of 22 per cent in 2010, but strong sales prompted the decision for second milling unit. Bell points to factors like population growth in the Pacific Northwest region of about one per cent, coupled with a resurgence in the market for grain-based products. With a solid population base, a taste for Japanese food culture, and a trending market toward specialty flours, the West Coast positioning is ideal.
