History

Springhill Farms was first established in September 1986 and was jointly owned by a group of Hutterite Brethren Colonies. By January 2008, Springhill Farms employed 290 people. 3,250 head/day were either processed and sold into the frozen meat market or as fresh carcasses. In February, 2008 Springhill Farms was purchased as a wholly owned subsidiary under the new name of Springhill Farms LP by Hytek Ltd. Hytek evolved into a ‘farm-to-fork’ food company and thus providing the opportunity to re-brand the organization. In 2011 Hytek changed its name to Hylife™ which signifies the company’s promise to provide high quality food while retaining the values that made them successful. The logo represents an integrated business brand that begins with a trusted food source and results in a premium pork product on your plate. HyLife™ is headquartered in La Broquerie, Manitoba and is the largest hog production company in Canada and is among the top 15 in North America. HyLife™, together with its affiliates, has business holdings in Canada, United States and China. In 2011 HyLife™ Ltd achieved Platinum status in Canada’s Best Managed Companies. This is a national program, founded in 1993, recognizing organizations that employ outstanding business practices. On April 4, 2011, Springhill Farms re-branded to HyLife™ Foods as a part of their integrated business model. While our name has changed, the values that guide and define the company remain the same.
