Maple Leaf Foods acquired Schneiders on September 25, 2003.
This significant acquisition saw Schneider become a part of the Maple Leaf Foods family. Following the acquisition, some entities, such as Mitchell, continued to operate as an independent company under the Schneider Foods umbrella.
However, subsequent changes occurred within the structure. For instance, on October 12, 2006, Maple Leaf Foods, which then owned Mitchell's, announced plans to close its primary plant in Saskatoon over the following three years.
