Atlantic Potato Distributors Ltd.

Atlantic Potato Distributors Ltd. is a potato packer and distributor in New Brunswick, Canada founded in 1993 by Ralph & Nancy Hanscome; together they have created a family owned and operated business with 45 years experience in the potato industry.

As a company that grows only 20 percent of their complete supply on-site, Atlantic Potato Distributors began traceability programs before it was fashionable. As part of their food safety program, APD audits growers to ensure the Company's high quality standards are met.

Packing and distributing potatoes year round make Atlantic Potato Distributors unique.

The Company ensures quality control by shipping seed potatoes to the US to be grown during winter months. The ability to track their product and ensure quality makes APD the biggest and preferred re-packer of the southern potato along the eastern seaboard.

The company operates distributing facilities in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Ontario.

Investing in innovation and automation over the last six years has led the company to being recognized with an NB Innovation Award, Loblaw Produce Vendor of the Year, featured in several editions of the Canadian Business Magazine and most recently named as one of the TOP 40 Produce Vendors for Loblaw.
