BONDUELLE: Fire at the Bonduelle plant in Tecumseh (Ontario - Canada)
July 18 2014 - 11:51AM
Overnight on July 17 - 18, a fire was reported in the Bonduelle
plant in Tecumseh. Fortunately there are no fatalities or injuries
reported. The cause of the incident is as of yet undetermined, and
an investigation is planned.
Property damage is considerable, and it is
probable that it will be very difficult for the plant to operate
for the current production campaign. The delays and production
relaunch plans will only be able to be determined after detailed
examination of the damage to the plant.
All of the Bonduelle Group's plants are insured
to cover property damage and production losses, which should limit
the impact of this incident.
Tecumseh Plant
The Tecumseh plant is located in Ontario, and
produces nearly 30,000 metric tons (33,069 tons, US) of frozen
goods and 20,000 metric tons (22,046 tons, US) of canned goods,
mostly for its customer Green Giant, for whom Bonduelle is the
exclusive supplier in Canada.
The site also plays a large role in product
packaging and shipping.
The plant has 150 employees on permanent
contracts, and 700 seasonal employees, and 110 farmers provide
their goods to the plant, farming 7,000 hectares (17,297 acres) of
farmland.
