Description: The J.M. Smucker Company is an American manufacturer based in Orrville, Ohio. Founded in 1897, it operates primarily in North America, with a longstanding presence in Canada. In Canada, the company's activities are managed by Smucker Foods of Canada Corp., which oversees various offices located in Sherbrooke, Montreal, Markham, Brampton, and Calgary. Smucker's Canadian operations focus not only on distribution but also on manufacturing, with a notable production facility in Sherbrooke. This facility, which has been active since 1939, produces products like Carnation evaporated milk and Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk intended specifically for the Canadian market. Over the years, investments have been made to modernize equipment and strengthen ties to local dairy sources.

The brands available in Canada under the Smucker umbrella include Smucker's fruit spreads and ice cream toppings, Folgers coffee, Jif peanut butter, Robin Hood and Five Roses flour and baking products, Double Fruit fruit spreads, as well as pet-related products like Meow Mix and Milk-Bone. Although the company formerly owned the Voortman cookie brand and operated a facility in Burlington, Ontario, it sold this business in 2024. That same year, Smucker also divested its fermented condiment brands in Canada, including Bick's, Habitant, Woodman's, and McLarens, signaling a shift in focus towards its core product categories such as coffee, spreads, baking ingredients, frozen handheld foods, and pet food.

Although Smucker no longer operates milling facilities for the Robin Hood brand, it continues to market Robin Hood products at retail in Canada. The company's Canadian portfolio has therefore narrowed somewhat, but it remains centered around food staples and pet products that have consistent demand. Smucker's presence in Canada is defined more by practical production and distribution activities than by large-scale branding or promotion, reflecting a relatively straightforward commercial strategy within the country.
