Simplot Canada (II) Limited

The J. R. Simplot Company potato processing plant in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, has an annual capacity of more than 300 million pounds (135 million kilos) of frozen french fries and formed potato products.

The plant began operations in 2003, and is among the most efficient facilities of its kind in the world. It was built to accommodate future expansion that could double its initial capacity.

The Portage plant serves large quick-service-restaurant chains and other U.S. customers in the East, Southeast, and Midwest.
