When Roquette invested in Manitoba, this global leader in plant-based protein technology didn’t just invest in the province-it invested in the people that live there. In this video, we go inside Roquette’s Portage la Prairie, Manitoba facility, where it invested over half a billion dollars to build the world’s largest pea protein plant. What drew the company to Manitoba was the community of welcoming, hard-working and talented people. In turn, Roquette has become part of the community and is creating new jobs and opportunities.
Based in France, Roquette is an important foreign investor to the province of Manitoba and Canada as a whole. Roquette is committed to supporting local agriculture producers, hiring a skilled and diverse workforce, and caring for its employees. Investments of this kind help strengthen supporting industries like transportation, construction, warehousing, service industries and agriculture in the surrounding regions. The result? Benefits that extend well beyond the initial investment.
Foreign direct investment from companies like Roquette is important to people living in small communities across Canada, creating quality jobs and encouraging economic prosperity.
