Seenergy Foods has expanded its production footprint in Ontario with a second facility in London and launched a new individually quick-frozen (IQF) pasta line aimed at high-volume foodservice and prepared-food manufacturers across the United States and Canada. The addition broadens a portfolio that already includes more than 150 IQF ready-to-eat ingredients and positions the company to reach larger shares of airline, institutional, restaurant, and prepared-meal supply chains.

Ativ Ajmera, who runs day-to-day operations with his brother Sam, framed the investment as a step to scale capacity and innovation. “Opening our second facility is a major milestone,” said Ativ Ajmera. “Sam and I run every part of the operation, and this expansion gives us the capacity to grow, innovate, and continue delivering high-quality ingredients our customers in the U.S. and Canada rely on. Our new IQF pasta line is a key part of that growth, helping operators reduce labour, improve consistency, and offer more plant-forward options.”

The IQF pasta line will produce short-format varieties designed for high-throughput kitchens and prepared-food applications, where consistent portioning and fast rethermalization are priorities. For operators juggling short prep windows and high plate counts, individually quick-frozen pasta can cut back-of-house labor and lower waste while supporting plant-forward menu shifts that many foodservice buyers are requesting.

Seenergy describes itself as a Canadian, family-owned manufacturer now overseen operationally by Ativ and Sam Ajmera. The company is approaching $100 million in annual revenue and says its ingredients are featured in millions of meals each week. Seenergy operates GFSI-certified facilities and emphasizes food safety, quality, and long-term supply partnerships across its operations.

There is a note of timing nuance: company materials and industry timelines consistently place the new production site in London, Ontario, though one timeline indicates the London site was commissioned in 2024 while the recent announcement frames the IQF pasta launch and broader expansion as a 2026 development. The company has not published detailed production metrics, SKU lists, or exact commissioning dates for the pasta line, so buyers and supply-chain partners will likely want to confirm capacity, pack formats, and lead times directly with Seenergy.

For menu developers, distributors, and foodservice operators, the practical takeaway is straightforward: more frozen, ready-to-use pasta options tailored for high-volume kitchens should arrive to market, enabling cleaner back-of-house workflows and easier plant-forward menu integration. Watch for follow-up details on production throughput, certification scope, and product formats as the London site ramps its IQF pasta output.
