According to the union website for this plant, "The Kellogg Canada manufacturing plant in London, Ontario, began as the Canada Corn Company, a manufacturing facility with the rights to produce Toasted Corn Flakes for Canadian distribution.

In 1924, W.K. Kellogg, the founder of Kellogg Company, bought the plant and took over production to supply all of Canada with Kellogg cereal.

Thanks to a $223 million expansion that started in 1984, Kellogg Canada's 106,000 square metre London plant is one of the most technologically advanced cereal manufacturing facilities within the Kellogg Company.

The London facility uses computer-automated machines that perform all steps of production, from mixing the grains to packing the boxes in cartons. A monorail system carries in-process food throughout the plant, and equipment is washed by high-powered jet sprays, called CIP (clean in place) technology."

Unfortunately, in fall 2014, the facility was closed down, and with it, went many things, including 500 jobs and the Canadian formulation of Special K.
