customers throughout the world. Edible beans are processed
at Cook's plants in Hensall and Centralia...Grain"elevators are.
located at Kirkton, Walton. Atwood, Amberley, Parkhill and
Beechwood. , r .
A gtiality mantigement'system has been developed at
Cook's that led to certification under ISO 9002. This highly
sought. after International. recognition Of quality standards was
a major two year undertaking. Cook's is currently the only
North American edible bean processor'to'obtain that
designation. Both -processing plants are registered Under ISO
9002.. ,
Cook's processing facilities handle white hilum_ soybeans
that are exported'to those markets that use edible soybean
products in their food consumption; While the major .. "
established markets are in the'Pacific Rim, there is,a growing
interest in edible soybeans in Europe and North America. The
Hensall plant also processes wheat and white bean seed for
Optario producers. ; ,
Four of the Cook's plans have fertilizer blending
operations and application services are provided for dry and
liquid fertilizer, as well as liquid pesticides..To provide the
latest technology in application equipment Cook's has a
GallenbergSpray application machine that can cover a 120
foot span: .
Also a new 1903"Terra-gator liquid/dry fertiliter applicator.
capable of covering 70 feet at a pass, has been added to the
Centralia plant operation. These larger machines respond to
customer concern about soil•compaction and in addition
provide a more even application of the products.
One of Cook's major strengths is its people. With long term
employees.providing knowledgeable advice and assistance,
.Cook's can look after every need of the producer from crop
inputs, to fertilizer and pesticides, to receiving crops at'.
harvest. The marketing of those crops. both domestically and
throughout the world, is an important part of the agricultural
industry. Cook's marketing commodity group has developed
customers to get those crops to'end users in dozens of
countries.
In response to the growing public demand for healthier
food choices, in 1996 Cook's entered thetanadian food
service market with a line of 10 products in 2kg and 10kg
bags. These products are aimed at the catering, restaurant and
institutional operators in Canada.,
In 1997 Cook's is launching its line of grocery products to
make the same healthy choices available to the general public
for home preparation. Packages of Cook's beans, peas, lentils
and barley will be available in"Loblaws and Zehrs stores in
the very near future. Soup combinations will follow.
Cook's strive to provide the maximum in customer service
and quality products, both for the producers in Ontario and
the consumers around the world. '
