This coveted UniPro Overall Supplier of the Year Award recognizes the Supplier who demonstrates outstanding support of UniPro Foodservice and its Members. McCain Foods joins an elite group of Suppliers to be recognized with this honor.

McCain Foods was also awarded the 2019 UniPro Supplier of the Year Award in the Frozen category. Criteria included market support, product innovation, quality standards, service levels, and product training.

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.

By embracing our entrepreneurial innovative beginnings, McCain Foods has grown significantly over the years. Our products are now available in more than 160 countries. McCain Foods continues to be a global leader in prepared potato products, including French fries, and appetizers.
