Maple Leaf Foods unveils new pork company name

Oct 21, 2024

Maple Leaf Foods Inc. recently announced that Canada Packers Inc. (Canada Packers) will be the future name of the new pork company once it completes the previously announced separation of its pork business as a new independent, public company.

“We are thrilled to launch Canada Packers as the new name for our future independent pork company,” said Dennis Organ, President of Maple Leaf Foods’ Pork Complex and incoming CEO of Canada Packers. “This choice reflects our deep respect for the history and legacy of this iconic brand, while affording us the opportunity to bring it forward and blend it with our ambitious vision for the future as a world-leading pork producer.”

The heritage of Canada Packers as a leader in the pork business goes back nearly a century. The new company will build on this legacy as an industry leader and will move forward with a focus on sustainable solutions and global reach.

“Canada Packers is a distinctive, memorable and authentic name for the new pork company,” said Curtis Frank, president and CEO, Maple Leaf Foods. “While grounded in solid roots that have been an important part of Maple Leaf Foods’ history, Canada Packers also provides a platform for the forward-thinking vision that Dennis and his team have embraced as they chart their next steps as an independent company. We are excited for what the future holds for Canada Packers as we advance plans to complete the separation of the businesses in 2025.”

The new Canada Packers brand identity incorporates the iconic elements from its almost 100-year-old logo, with the capital “C” and “P” and refreshed Canadian flag featured. The company has also changed its colour palette to reflect its focus on sustainability, shifting from blue and red to the natural green and blue tones that connect so much of Canada’slandscape.
