GOVERNMENT OF CANADA INVESTS IN BHJ CANADA MEAT PRODUCTS INC.

September 20th, 2012 Calgary, Alberta.

The Canadian Government is helping an Alberta meat processing company to expand their operations and increase sales by providing funding towards the purchase and installation of new equipment and technology at their facility in Calgary. Government Loans and Government grants can help create lasting results that enhance communities and local economies. Government grant and loan programs are available in many different business categories.

BHJ is an international supplier of meat ingredients and meat raw materials for the food, pet food, feed and pharmaceutical industries.

“Our government is helping Alberta meat processors become more profitable and competitive because the economy is our number one priority,” said MP Deepak Obhrai. “This investment will help BHJ Canada Meat Products Inc. expand their operations and increase domestic and export sales, helping to strengthen our economy for the future.”

BHJ consists of two business areas: ingredients and meat and by-products.

BHJ is represented in more than 60 countries world-wide. BHJ has yearly revenue of approximately EUR 280 million and employs 700 people globally.

The government funding of $1 million by the Agricultural Flexibility Fund through the Agri Processing Initiative is designed to enhance the competitiveness of the agri-processing sector in Canada.

“This investment was key to our expansion,” noted Rod Deibert, President of BHJ Canada. “It enabled us to pursue a project that enhances our core business and expands our processing capacity from a range of suppliers within our industry.”

The project will benefit farmers through an increased demand by BHJ meat and poultry producers to the pet food industry in Canada, the U.S and Europe. The new equipment will help the company increase their competitiveness, production capacity and sales.
