The federal government’s Dairy Investment Fund is investing up to $3.9 million in Fromagerie Bergeron in Saint-Antoine de Tilly, Que., to help the cheese processor install robotic equipment and further automate its production lines.
The new production lines will help Bergeron market sliced, grated and different (Gouda-style) cheese sizes, in addition to raising its cheese production capacity and buying more milk from dairy producers.
The family-owned company’s ongoing expansion is focused on improving productivity.
The Dairy Processing Investment Fund is a $100 million, four-year program designed to help dairy processors modernize.
To date, more than 840 dairy producers have been approved for funding valued at more than $42.5 million.
