Moyer’s Apple Products announces $12-million investment in Beamsville

Last week, Moyer’s Apple Products announced plans to build a new facility and expand its production in Beamsville. 

Moyer’s Apple Products is an Ontario-based agri-food processor and has been a family run-business for over 200 years.

Local politicians were on hand for the announcement, including Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff, Acting Regional Chair Rob Foster and Lincoln Mayor Sandra Easton, as well as Adrian Dominguez, General Manager of Moyer’s Apple Products, and Vince Benincasa, President of Court Holdings Manufacturing. 

“By supporting strategic investments from regional businesses, our government is protecting Ontario’s workers and creating the conditions for a strong, stable and resilient economy that can weather any storm,” said Oosterhoff. “This investment by Moyer’s Apple Products will support growth and innovation across the local manufacturing sector and create better-paying jobs for workers and families in our region.” 

Moyer’s Apple Products plans to build a 69,000 square-foot facility in Beamsville, creating 12 new jobs. According to a media release, this state-of-the-art facility will include automated production and packaging lines, as well as an industrial kitchen to support the reshoring of caramel and chocolate production.

“This investment allows Moyer’s Apple Products to drive greater efficiency across our operations while continuing to grow responsibly in Niagara,” said Benincasa. “By investing in advanced automation and expanded capacity, we are strengthening our ability to serve customers, support local suppliers and employ people and families from our community.”

“We appreciate the Ontario government’s support as we continue contributing to the region’s long term economic development.” 

The $12-million investment is being supported by $1.5 million in funding from the Regional Development Program’s Southwestern Ontario Development Fund. 

Easton spoke about the importance Moyer’s Apple Products has meant to the Town of Lincoln. 

“It is a pleasure to join our community in recognizing Moyer’s Apple products, which has played such an important role in driving our local economy,” said Easton. 

“Through innovation, investment and the creation of skilled, good-paying jobs, Moyer’s continues to contribute to the vitality of the Town of Lincoln. Supporting manufacturers like this help position our region for long-term, sustainable economic growth.” 

Acting Regional Chair Rob Foster echoed Easton’s comments. 

“Niagara is home to an incredibly diverse economy, and one of the jewels of that economy is our advanced manufacturing sector,” said Foster. “Moyer’s Apple Products is bringing new ideas to market and pushing the boundaries of what we can produce right here in Niagara.”

“This funding will help ensure Moyer’s continues to thrive, protecting well-paying jobs in Niagara.”
