Scott Technology Expands Poultry Trussing Technology into Canada
Scott has secured its first Canadian contract for its Automated Poultry Trusser solution, partnering with Maple
Lodge Farms – one of the country’s largest independently owned poultry processors. The multi-million-dollar
contract includes the design, build, and installation of two 24-bird-per-minute trussing lines at Maple Lodge's
plant in Brampton.
Building on previous successes with Pilgrim’s Pride and repeat contracts with Costco – Lincoln Premium Poultry,
this new agreement with Maple Lodge Farms extends Scott’s poultry trussing technology into the Canadian
market, further expanding its reach across North America.
The world-first Poultry Trusser automates the labor-intensive task of trussing - tying chicken legs and wings to
ensure even cooking and consistent presentation. Engineered for a compact footprint, the system is highly
efficient and is designed to minimise the risk of operator’s repetitive strain injuries and staff turnover.
“As one of Canada’s largest poultry processors, we see automation not just as an efficiency tool, but as a way to
lead the industry in safety, quality, and innovation,” said Fred Marques, Chief Operating Officer at Maple Lodge
Farms. “Scott’s technology helps us deliver on that commitment every day, and it reflects the kind of forward-
thinking investment that keeps Maple Lodge Farms a marketplace leader.”
“It’s an honour to partner with Maple Lodge Farms on this important step forward for poultry processing in
Canada,” says Mike Christman, CEO of Scott Technology. “This agreement not only extends the reach of our
Poultry Trusser technology, which is already delivering strong results in the U.S., but also supports Maple Lodge’s
continued leadership in innovation, efficiency and workplace safety. We’re proud to contribute to their efforts
in shaping the future of food production.”
The North American poultry market is a US $95 billion industry with more than 900 million rotisserie chickens
produced per year. Maple Lodge Farms is a recognised industry leader for its early adoption of transformative
technology that enhances safety for its employees while improving production and operational efficiencies.
