The plant will have a surface area of 121,760 square feet (11.000m2) on a 784,465 square feet (73.000M2)  of land, with state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the production of dry dog and cat food, developed with the best animal nutrition experts. Construction began last July and will take approximately 18 months to complete, with an expected opening in early 2021.

“Jupiter intends to position itself as a reference in the fields of science and food technology,” said Jean-Philippe Désilets, director at Inovo Group, and Jules Legault, co-owner of Legault Group. “Indeed, our two family businesses have always distinguished themselves because of our sense of innovation, our dynamism and our desire of diversification. We have decided to put our vision and our strengths together in the Jupiter project to promote compliance with the industry’s highest standards of food quality and safety. As we share the same values, the well-being of our employees, our customers and their animals are always at the heart of our companies’ activities, and Jupiter factory is a natural fit in this approach.”
