Multi-site protein manufacturer with 44 facilities across North America and Europe
Sofina Foods operates a distributed manufacturing footprint—44 production sites across Canada, the UK, Ireland, and Europe—serving retail and foodservice channels with pork, beef, chicken, turkey, and seafood products. The tech stack (AS/400, Kronos, AutoCAD) reflects legacy manufacturing infrastructure; hiring across manufacturing, ops, finance, and engineering, paired with active projects on equipment criticality, root cause analysis, and sanitation standardization, signals a push toward operational consistency and uptime across a geographically fragmented portfolio.
