Michael Foods and Inovatech® Egg Products

Inovatech Egg Products, a division of Michael Foods Canada, is the largest supplier of dried egg and egg-blends in Canada and a leading manufacturer and exporter of egg products internationally. Michael Foods Canada Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Michael Foods, Inc. which is the world's largest supplier of further processed eggs.

Inovatech Egg Products traces its beginning to 1993 when a partnership was formed between an Abbotsford, British Columbia egg grading business, an egg processing company in St. Marys, Ontario and the egg division of a Winnipeg, Manitoba business to become Canadian Inovatech Inc. This new company became a dominant player in the Canadian egg processing business as well as a global leader in egg extraction technology. It evolved into an international company employing the latest in technology, research and development to produce and market egg, egg-based and nutraceutical ingredients and finished products. In August 2002, the egg business segment of Canadian Inovatech was acquired by Michael Foods, Inc. of Minnetonka, Minnesota and became Inovatech Egg Products.
