Crust Craft Expands Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Production Operations

03/27/2025
Food production company Crust Craft plans to expand its production operations in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The $51 million project is expected to create 55 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a new 120,000-to-150,000-square-foot facility which will allow the company to increase production capacity and integrate advanced baking technologies. Operations are scheduled to begin in 2026.

“We are thrilled to be growing and expanding this locally owned company in the province where it started 35 years ago. We will be able to provide not only employment opportunities and growth for our people, but also a larger local market for our farming families and vendor partners. Our goal of ‘Bringing Real Bread to Life’ is being realized with this expansion by introducing our brand of Panaji naan breads to even more people,” said Paul Flesher, president, Crust Craft.

To support the project Alberta’s government will provide $2 million through the Investment and Growth Fund.

“Alberta’s government is proud to work with Crust Craft to establish its new facility in Edmonton. Crust Craft choosing to expand its business in Alberta is further proof that our investment-friendly policies and programs, like the Investment and Growth Fund, have a significant impact on retaining and attracting business to Alberta. Looking to the future, the opportunities are endless for Alberta and Crust Craft’s partnership,” noted Matt Jones, Minister of Jobs, Economy and Trade. Crust Craft is a high-capacity bakery serving retail and food service clients across North America.

“Crust Craft’s expansion demonstrates how the Edmonton region offers the right mix of talent, infrastructure and government support to help businesses scale. The support from the Investment and Growth Fund was instrumental in ensuring that Crust Craft continues to thrive right here in our region. We’re thrilled to see a homegrown company like Crust Craft investing in its future here, creating new jobs and further cementing the Edmonton region as a leader in food manufacturing,” Malcolm Bruce, CEO, Edmonton Global added.
