McCain Foods Limited Company Profile
McCain Foods isn't a small-fry company: It's the #1 french fry maker in the world, processing about 1 million pounds of french fries and other potato products per hour. In addition to its own brands, it owns the Ore-Ida foodservice business (H.J. Heinz still owns the retail brand). The company also produces frozen vegetables, juices, pizza, entrees, and desserts. The McCain family began producing french fries in 1957 and still owns the company. A power struggle in the mid-1990s split family loyalties, and some of the clan went off to run Maple Leaf Foods, one of Canada's largest food processors.
