Company Information

Lilydale Inc., established in 1940, has a reputation for providing premium quality food products throughout Canada. At its inception, Lilydale's primary business was providing eggs to Great Britain during World War II. Over more than 70 years, the Company has grown into one of Canada's leading poultry providers.

Today, Lilydale has over 2,100 employees across Canada, and is one of Canada’s largest poultry processors. Lilydale operates 6 manufacturing facilities and 3 hatcheries. We generate hundreds of products, which are sold throughout Canada at major retailers and food service outlets.

Lilydale prides itself on the diversity of its product lines. Our product offerings include both fresh and further processed chicken and turkey. Under the guidance of our Research and Development team, Lilydale constantly creates new products in order to meet the demands of an ever-changing marketplace.

We are committed to providing Canadians with safe, wholesome, premium quality products and constantly looking for new methods and technologies that will further enhance food safety at every stage of production. As such, Lilydale has strict food safety processes and product specifications in place. We've implemented these comprehensive food safety processes and procedures as part of HACCP, the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point System. (HACCP was developed by Pillsbury and NASA in the 1960s to eliminate the contamination of food for astronauts.

We also recognize the importance of minimizing our potential impact on the environment. Through an in-house corporate environmental program, we regularly monitor and strive to enhance our environmental performance.

Continued growth is our goal as we strive to maintain our position in the marketplace as a leading poultry provider. New product development continues to be a critical part of our plan in order to expand in both the retail and food service sectors. This goal, coupled with a focus on technology and marketing initiatives, will provide new opportunities for both Lilydale and its valued customers.
