Home | Company Profile
From small-town Ontario beginnings in 1985, Elmira Poultry has grown to become a nationally recognized poultry processor specializing in value-added poultry products.

Elmira Poultry was founded in Elmira, Ontario by Monty Ward, who saw an unfulfilled demand for value-added, further processed poultry products. With a staff of six and a humble operation in a rented facility, Monty Ward’s vision took shape and Elmira Poultry’s spirit of innovation was born.

Our first product mix included premium boneless chicken breasts in five different portion sizes, two varieties of cooked, diced chicken, and two styles of chicken wings – Roadhouse and Roasters.

Next, we introduced our breaded products – fillets, nuggets, burgers, schnitzel, and lightly dusted wings.

And today, our fully cooked line includes flavoured wings, Quick Strips (light or dark), boneless breast, turkey sausage, and a variety of breaded products including stuffed chicken breasts.

Over the years, our recipe for success proved to be just right. In 1990, to meet consumer demand for our growing product line, Elmira Poultry moved to its current location in Waterloo. At our new high-tech 40,000 sq. ft. facility, our family of over 160 Elmira Poultry employees continues to satisfy the needs of consumers throughout North America every day.

In 2000, Elmira Poultry celebrated 15 years in business and Monty Ward sold his company to the current ownership group. Still privately held, Elmira Poultry is committed to maintaining our long-standing commitment to product innovation with a growing selection of products that satisfy diverse consumer tastes.


Our strategy is to seek out value-added product needs of Foodservice and Private Label Retail businesses in Canada and the United States. We will respond by being the industry leader in the development and manufacture of high quality products and differentiate ourselves through the building of strategic alliances with our customers and suppliers.
We are committed to innovation and the ongoing exploration of new ideas. We strive for diversity by embracing the changing needs of our customers and celebrating the uniqueness of all individuals in our team. And we value integrity, by honouring our commitments to customers and associates.
In all that we do, we will demonstrate respect for each other and pride in our work. We will accomplish this by engaging the collective talents of a diverse associate base, and recognizing them for their commitment. We will continually nurture our relationships – with customers and suppliers – through open communications, excellent service, and ethical practices in all our interactions.
