Paterson GlobalFoods (PGF) is pleased to announce the construction of Canada’s most innovative Oat processing facility.

The new oat mill to be known as O Foods Ltd. when completed, will annually process up to 250,000 metric tonnes of raw oats from Western Canadian farmers. The oat mill will produce a full range of high health oat products for the world market. The mill will be situated on Manitoba’s largest private rail siding, consisting of 260 rail cars serviced by Canadian Pacific, Canadian National and BNSF. This exceptional rail service will offer the greatest access possible to the North American market.
Construction will commence immediately.

“Paterson’s new oat mill will allow PGF to continue to diversify its commodity business with value added products for the benefit of consumers and farmers alike.”
