The project will create 170 jobs between the plant in Sorel-Tracy and Bel Canada’s Montreal head office.
The new plant is expected to begin commercial production in early 2020 and use Canadian milk.
It will be built on a site adjacent to Laiterie Chalifoux.
The Bel Group has 12,700 employees in some 30 subsidiaries around the world.
