Who We're A Great Fit For
National QSRs
Morrison Lamothe Inc (MLI) is the ideal co-manufacturing partner for national QSR chains launching or scaling breakfast, snack, or dessert handheld pastry platforms. Our customizable fillings and pastry recipes let you create brand-defining LTOs or core menu items that drive daypart traffic and ticket averages. Canadian-based production eliminates cross-border supply chain headaches, giving you tighter forecasting, faster restocking, and pricing stability for national rollouts.
Convenience Stores
For convenience store operators, Morrison Lamothe Inc provides frozen handheld pastries that travel efficiently through distribution and perform as impulse-buy like champions at checkout or bakery cases. Our bulk-packed, pallet-ready IQF formats support quick cooking, convenient, delicious handhelds stuffed with fruit, sweet, or savoury fillings that match regional tastes and seasonal promotions, while our Canadian facility ensures compliance with domestic labelling and faster delivery to stores from BC to Newfoundland without U.S. import friction.

How We Work
Morrison Lamothe Inc (MLI) combines 90+ years of food manufacturing experience with a practical, solution‑first approach that feels like an extension of your team.
We work best with customers who value transparency, direct access to decision‑makers, and clear timelines from brief to commercialization.
Production Capabilities
We focus on delivering products that work in the real world, not just on paper. That means:
- Starting with your equipment, labour model, and service expectations, then designing formats and processes around them.
- Using trials and test runs to confirm bake/fry times, hold times, and consistency before scaling.
- Continually refining processes to reduce waste, protect margins, and improve yield over time.

Our Canadian facility operates to leading food safety and sustainability standards (GFSI, SQF, HACCP, RSPO), giving you third‑party verified assurance that your brand is protected.
Food safety is built into how we hire, train, and measure performance, from front‑line operators to leadership. Regular external and customer audits, ongoing GMP and internal audit training, and careful supplier selection help reduce risk in your supply chain and give your teams confidence in every shipment.
