History & Origin
Our Story Began in 1957
Our history is the foundation on which we build our future. With over 65 years of experience in delivering great tasting food, we continue to drive growth for future generations.
The McCain brothers (Wallace, Harrison, Robert and Andrew) were entrepreneurs of their time. As sons of a third-generation farmer, they used their family knowledge of agriculture and combined it with innovation.
By using frozen food technology, the brothers opened the first McCain Foods production facility in their hometown of Florenceville, New Brunswick, Canada – producing frozen French fries, which have become a signature product.
