The Company’s Evolution
SunOpta, initially founded under the name StakeTech in 1973, has strategically evolved over the years. The company’s first business endeavor was focused on converting biomass to animal feed using steam technology. It later entered into the industrial mineral business, then into the natural and organic foods business, and eventually made a bold move to become a pioneer in the plant-based food and beverage space.
The company adopted its current name “SunOpta” in 2003 due to the company’s effort to optimize what the sun grows and has since built on its legacy by helping transform the food and beverages people consume. From manufacturing organic and specialty products for leading natural and private label brands, to proudly producing its own brands, SOWN, Dream and West Life, SunOpta has maintained its position as a high-growth company.
As a major manufacturer and producer in the plant-based sector, SunOpta entered the soymilk business more than 20 years ago and was also one of the first plant-based food and beverage companies to enter the oatmilk category in the U.S., which has become the second most popular plant-based beverage on the market. SunOpta currently manufactures nearly 450 product SKUs in the categories of plant-based milk, broth, and tea in addition to better-for-you fruit snacks.
“Reflecting on 50 years of SunOpta, the company has made a lasting impact on the plant-based food and beverage industry, and with every milestone reached we are closer to meeting our company goals of doubling our plant-based business by 2025 off our 2020 base and pushing towards $1 billion and beyond,” said Joe Ennen, CEO of SunOpta. “I am proud of the ESG commitments we have made over the years. We maintain a passionate focus on sustainability, innovation and community, all of which will lead us into the next 50 years of business and beyond.”
To reach the goal of doubling its plant-based business, SunOpta has invested over $200 million in its plant-based production capacity in the last three years to support the accelerated growth and developing demand for plant-based milk alternatives and snacks.
Company Milestones
SunOpta's journey to becoming a top manufacturer of food and beverage products has been marked by numerous other significant achievements and milestones, including:
*SunOpta has adopted a zero waste definition as 90% diversion of waste from landfill.
Sustainability has always been part of the company culture and at the root of everything SunOpta does as a high-growth food and beverage company. Looking ahead, SunOpta remains committed to sustainably fueling the future of food for the next 50 years and beyond.
