Cargill opens a canola refinery located in Clavet, Saskatchewan, Canada, which can refine one billion pounds of canola oil annually, making it the company’s largest refinery in North America.
“This new refinery means everything from the canola seeds grown to specialty consumer oils we refine are being produced right here in Canada, further highlighting Cargill’s commitment to Canada’s canola industry,” said Scott Portnoy, corporate VP and platform leader for Cargill Food Ingredients & Systems.”
Cargill operates six businesses in Saskatchewan across 28 locations with more than 550 employees.
About 100 jobs were created during construction of the refinery, and 30 new permanent positions were created to run the new facility in Clavet.
