Operating name: Gay Lea Foods
In continuous operation since 1870, Ivanhoe Cheese Inc. is the oldest company of its kind in Canada. Operated as a Dairy Co-operative until 1986, Ivanhoe gained its enviable reputation for distinctive quality through the manufacture of Aged Cheddar Cheese for both the export and domestic markets, in which it still participates today. Following the privatization of the company in 1987, its new owners undertook a major expansion plan which resulted in not only the manufacture of a number of traditional and non-traditional specialty cheeses, but also the marketing of these along with cheddar in refined formats to the Foodservice, Consumer and Industrial markets both her and abroad. More recently the company has embarked upon a diversification programme which has resulted in a number of new and unique process cheese items and a comprehensive range of premium quality cheese sauces.
Although established well over a century ago, Ivanhoe Cheese Inc. operates from a modern, federally, provincially and municipally licensed and inspected plant in Hastings County, Ontario, the area which the Canadian Dairy Industry had its humble beginnings. All facets of the company's operations are HACCP certified and approved to produce both Kosher and Halal products.
The company maintains its own manufacturing, processing, packaging, storage, distribution and laboratory facilities in the hamlet of Ivanhoe, Ontario. From this point, we handle all administrative, sales and marketing functions for all customers across Canada. With a wide and varying customer base, Ivanhoe has developed its business in a highly competitive market through maintaining: Stringent High Quality Standards, On-going Product Development and Innovation, Mult-level Service Support Programs.
Our ability to meet our commitments in these areas can no better be illustrated than by the dramatic growth of the company through its established trading relationships with many of North America's leading Food Retailers and Distributors, Food Manufacturers and Foodservice Operators.
