The McCain brothers (Wallace, Harrison, Robert, and Andrew) were entrepreneurs of their time. As sons of a third-generation farmer, they used their family knowledge of agriculture and combined it with innovation.
By using frozen food technology, the brothers opened the first McCain Foods production facility in their hometown of Florenceville, New Brunswick, Canada – producing frozen French fries, which have become a signature product.
McCain Foods is proud to be a family and values-driven company. Our values are integral to our culture, helping to shape how we operate, how we work together, and the choices we make. They are a big part of what makes us unique.

Being one of the largest producers of French Fries and Potato Specialties across the world for six decades, in India, we are striving as McCain Foods (India) Private Limited to be not just a business, but a "Responsible Business". McCain believes in making a positive contribution to rural communities across the world. Before setting up a manufacturing plant, McCain begins working with local farmers and setting up its supply chain to develop not only a source of quality raw material for the manufacturing plant but also a stable source of income for the farmers and the local rural community. It's not just about potatoes but it is also about improving rural livelihoods.
The McCain brothers founded our company on a simple philosophy - good ethics is good business. Today we see this is as a core company value and we call it "Be Good. Do Good". This value guides our Corporate Responsibility strategy and it's inherent in the way we do business. Our CSR strategy focuses on five key areas: Agriculture, Operations, Food, Communities, and Employees.
