This milestone marks a significant step in Ya YA Foods’ continued expansion strategy and reinforces its position as a trusted partner for innovative, high-quality beverage manufacturing across North America.

A Strategic Expansion to Meet Growing Demand
The new Ya YA Foods Belleville, o/a Truss Beverage Co., facility was developed to meet the growing demand for aseptic PET beverage production, enabling Ya YA Foods to better serve both existing and new partners with greater speed, flexibility, and consistent quality. Complementing the production site, a dedicated warehouse has been established to support the efficient transportation of ingredients and packaging, as well as the storage of both ambient and temperature-controlled finished goods—ensuring seamless, end-to-end operations.

Strategically located to optimize distribution across Canada and the United States, the facility strengthens cross-border logistics while positioning the company to better serve a growing customer base. “This investment reflects where the market is going,” said Yahya Abbas, Ya YA Foods Corp CEO. “We are building the infrastructure today to support the beverage brands of tomorrow.”

Investing in People, Community, and Innovation
Ya YA Foods Corp. continues to prioritize people at the core of its operations. Beyond production capabilities, the new facility represents a strong investment in local talent and community development. “Our employees are our most important asset,” said Yahya Abbas, Ya YA Foods Corp CEO. “With Ya YA Foods Belleville, we are expanding our manufacturing footprint and are creating opportunities, supporting local economies, and building a workplace where talent can grow and thrive.”

By 2030, the facility is set to generate more than 300 jobs in the region. To date, we have created over 94 local jobs, including 83 roles already filled, reinforcing regional economic growth and strengthening the local manufacturing ecosystem.

This investment reflects where the market is going,” said Pat Walsh, Ya YA Foods Belleville Director. “We’re proud to be part of this community, bringing new opportunities, developing local talent, and contributing to a strong, sustainable manufacturing base for years to come”.

Built on a Legacy of Growth
