We know the importance that food plays in people's lives - the power it has to bring people, families and communities together.

For the last 65 years as a family-owned business, our purpose has always been and continues to be to bring enjoyment to people's lives through great tasting food, in a way which reflects our values.

OVERVIEW

Although primarily known around the world for its popular French fries and frozen appetizers, McCain is more than just a food company.

Having become heavily invested and involved in digital agriculture, vertical farming, and expansion through acquisition, McCain has embarked on a digital transformation.

Data & Analytics is a key enabler; we are making significant investments into our technological capabilities and policies to increase the quality of our data, the confidence of our teams to use this data to make decisions and drive value through the use of data.

We have a new and ambitious global Data & Analytics group, which serves as a resource to teams in our regions and global functions.
