McCain Foods was founded in Florenceville-Bristol, New Brunswick, in the late 1950s by two brothers. Since then, Florenceville-Bristol has become known as the capital of frozen fries and the company has grown into the largest producer of frozen potato products in the world.
Today, McCain is still a family-owned, Canadian company. It now has 52 production facilities spread across six continents and employs over 21,000 people across the world. Products by McCain include chips, French fries, roast potatoes, and jacket potatoes. The products are sold in grocery stores across Canada and worldwide. McCain also supplies many restaurant chains with frozen potatoes.
