$8 MILLION INVESTMENT AT OAKVILLE PLANT AND OTHER OUTCOMES

The production capacity reorganization in Olymel's processed poultry sector in Ontario will entail an investment of $8 million at the Oakville plant, as well as major renovations starting in the coming weeks. Among other things, one of two production lines from the Paris plant will be installed in Oakville. This redevelopment will also have a positive impact on the poultry products plant on Orenda Road in Brampton, Ontario, particularly for tumbling operations. The reorganization will also make way for equipment to be transferred from the Paris plant to the poultry further processing plant in SainteRosalie, in the Montérégie Est region of Quebec, thereby reducing the cost of acquiring this equipment, increasing production capacity for certain poultry products, and improving employment prospects Once the work is completed, operations at the Oakville plant will require an additional 62 employees, bringing the total number of workers in the facility to 180. The company will assess all options for the future of the Paris facilities, including putting them up for sale, and will announce its intentions at the appropriate time.

I know that the announcement of the closure is difficult news for the Paris employees On behalf of the company, I would like to extend appreciation to them for their years of loyal service Between now and the closure in December, Olymel will make every effort to help in the relocation or transition to employment in another sector," says Yanick Gervais, President and CEO, Olymel.
