Factors

Ownership

0.0 reported

US 100%

Old Dutch Foods' own corporate site groups "Old Dutch Foods, INC. (UNITED STATES)" and "Old Dutch Foods, LTD. (Canada)" as one "Old Dutch Family of Brands" under the shared olddutchfoods.com domain, and the Canadian company's president's message is signed by Steve Aanenson, the same family named as the US company's key person on Bloomberg's corporate profile (per Wikipedia). Corporations Canada's federal registry returns no match, so Old Dutch Foods Ltd. appears to be a Manitoba provincial corporation; that registry was not reachable, so this rests on vendor and secondary-source statements rather than a filing.

Manufacturing

Old Dutch Foods Ltd.'s own site states it runs four manufacturing facilities across Canada and produces for the Canadian market from them; its consumer FAQ separately confirms an active Calgary chip plant. Wikipedia's manufacturing-locations section, citing CBC News coverage of the 2006 Humpty Dumpty deal, names the other two current plants as Airdrie, Alberta (corn and extruded products) and the former Humpty Dumpty plant in Hartland, New Brunswick; it also lists older Dartmouth, NS and Mississauga, ON sites that the vendor's current count of four facilities suggests have since closed or consolidated, which could not be confirmed directly.

The Canadian company reports over 1,800 staff and associates across its Canadian facilities and offices, with sales and warehouse jobs posted from British Columbia to Newfoundland. No current US headcount is published; the last figure found (Hoovers, via Wikipedia) was about 500 employees as of 2018, likely dated given the Roseville HQ plus Barrel O' Fun and New England Humpty Dumpty operations. This mix estimates Canada as the larger share while keeping a substantial US share for the Roseville head office.

CA 75% · other 10% · US 15%

The vendor's own consumer FAQ states potatoes are delivered to its Canadian plants by truck from local growers, and potatoes are the dominant ingredient by volume across both the Old Dutch and Humpty Dumpty chip lines made in Canada. The company's separate "Quality Grows Here" grower feature profiles farms in North Dakota, Arkansas and Minnesota, but those explicitly supply the US arm's Roseville and Barrel O' Fun plants, not the Canadian ones. The remaining share allows for corn used in extruded and tortilla lines, vegetable oil and seasonings, whose specific origin the vendor does not publish.
