McCain Foods

McCain Foods Limited is a Canadian multi-national privately owned company that was established in 1957 in Florenceville, New Brunswick, Canada. It is the world's largest producer of French fries and other oven-ready frozen food products, like frozen desserts.

History

Building on the potato produce company founded by the grandfather Henry McCain and father Andrew Davies, the frozen fries company was started by the third generation: brothers Harrison McCain, Wallace McCain, Robert McCain and Andrew McCain. The company is still privately held by their descendants. (Sisters did not join in the equity of the business)

McCain Foods has 19,000 employees and 50 production facilities spanning six continents. It sells one-third of the world's frozen French fries products in more than 160 countries.

Based on 2014 sales, it is the 19th largest private company in Canada, according to The Globe and Mail's Report on Business.
