BC Tree Fruits expansion to boost capacity by 30%
The new line would expand BC Tree Fruits’ capacity by 30%, adding to the space that already has them as an industry leader in Western Canada. It will also provide 66 new jobs to the District of Lake Country, helping ensure locally grown, premium apples continue to be handled and packed by local employees.
“We are excited to begin the work on this expansion,” says BC Tree Fruits CEO Stan Swales. “This facility handles the majority of our grower member’s apples grown in the Kelowna and Vernon area so this expansion is imperative to ensure the quality and packing capacity of locally grown apples.”
