Maple Leaf Foods, Canada, opened what is said to be Canada's largest commercial bakery in Hamilton, Ontario. This 385,000-sq.-ft. "Trillium" bakery is equipped with efficient design flow and best-in-class technologies.  

"As Canada's largest bakery, our new facility is among the most efficient in North America," said Michael McCain, president and CEO.
