Amir Specialty Poultry recently celebrated a major milestone with the groundbreaking of its 80,000 sq. ft. primary processing facility in Arthur, Ontario. This event marks the launch of Canada’s first Muslim-owned, federally licensed halal processing plant, a significant step forward for the Muslim community and halal industry.
For the team behind Amir Specialty Poultry, this facility represents a vision long in the making. When the Aziz family first joined the business, halal options were limited, and the community relied heavily on external supply chains. Now, by establishing a local facility dedicated exclusively to halal meat, they aim to set new standards of quality and food safety, bringing state-of-the-art technology and a commitment to excellence to the Canadian halal market.
This facility is more than just a plant; it’s an investment in the local community. By providing job opportunities for residents of Wellington North and beyond, Amir Specialty Poultry will have a positive impact on the local economy while fulfilling an important need for high-quality halal meat.
The groundbreaking ceremony was filled with optimism and pride, as community members, local farmers, and supporters gathered to celebrate. This innovative plant will not only benefit the Muslim community but also enhance access to halal products throughout Ontario.
