Fleischmann's Yeast celebrates 75th anniversary of Calgary, Alberta facility
Production facility marks diamond jubilee.
This year marks the "diamond jubilee" of the Fleischmann’s Yeast production facility adjacent to downtown Calgary. Parent company AB Mauri, a global supplier of yeast and bakery ingredients serving artisanal and industry bakers, credits employees and the local business community for the facility’s success over 75 years.
“AB Mauri’s facility in Calgary opened in 1947 due to its ideal access to sugar beets, water, and a strong transportation network in Alberta,” said Gerald Ripley, plant manager, Fleischmann’s Yeast Calgary. “Our ongoing success during the past eight decades can be attributed to two very important groups—our dedicated employees and the Calgary business community, both of which continue to make this great city an advantageous location for manufacturing facilities like our Fleischmann’s Yeast plant.”
