Ontario Welcomes More Than $200 Million Investment by Chapman’s in Markdale

September 19, 2025

Our government is thrilled to welcome Chapman’s latest investment in Ontario, which is a major vote of confidence in our province’s economy and workers.

The upgraded facility will enable Chapman’s to increase production capacity, develop new products, meet growing domestic demand and expand into international markets while creating 200 new jobs in the region.

As the largest employer in Markdale, Chapman’s has more than 200 products made using exclusively Canadian milk and cream.

Chapman’s new, 175,000 square-foot production facility will see Chapman’s provincial workforce expand to over 1,000 employees, strengthening Ontario’s competitive advantage as a leader in agri-food products and advanced manufacturing. Ontario’s agri-food sector supports one in nine jobs in the province and generates more than $51 billion in GDP.

We will continue doing whatever it takes to protect workers by cutting red tape and making Ontario the most competitive place in the G7 to invest and create jobs.
