In the vast expanse of Canada’s agricultural landscape, one name stands out as a pioneer in the milling industry – P&H Milling Group. With a legacy spanning almost 125 years, this family-owned enterprise has cultivated a reputation for excellence, integrity, and sustainability.
Operating across the nation, P&H Milling Group encompasses eight strategically positioned mills spread across four provinces. With over 300 dedicated individuals, including a robust transportation team comprising approximately 85 professionals, the company orchestrates a symphony of precision and efficiency in its operations.
Bob Schultheiss, Fleet & Compliance Manager at P&H Milling Group, sheds light on the company’s operational prowess, stating, “With 75 tractors, 115 tankers, and 40 dry vans, we move hundreds of tons of our custom-milled flour to many top-tier bakeries throughout Canada, the US, and abroad every day.”
As Canada’s largest privately owned milling company, P&H Milling Group takes immense pride in its longstanding tradition of service and quality.
However, beyond the numbers and infrastructure lies a workplace culture steeped in values and familial camaraderie. Schultheiss emphasizes, “Honesty and integrity are the principles instilled by our original founders in 1909 and continue to be the driving beliefs of today.”
At the core of P&H Milling Group’s ethos lies a commitment to excellence in manufacturing and an understanding that people are the lifeblood of any business. Schultheiss explains, “We are manufacturers of the highest quality of wheat and pulse-based products. We understand that people are the driving force behind any business.”
In tandem with its commitment to quality, P&H Milling Group has emerged as a leader in safety and sustainability. “Our transportation team is committed to providing the safest equipment and the latest technology for our drivers, ensuring they come home safely at the end of every shift,” says Schultheiss.
Moreover, the company’s dedication to sustainability extends beyond safety measures to encompass ethical business practices and environmental responsibility. “As a Sedex member, we are committed to being a responsible business, sourcing responsibly, and improving ethical standards and working conditions within the supply chain,” Schultheiss notes.
Amidst the ever-evolving landscape of the milling industry, P&H Milling Group remains agile and resilient. Schultheiss reflects on the company’s approach to challenges, stating, “As other ‘for hire’ carriers struggle with hiring drivers, we have been fortunate to have seasoned drivers, bringing our average tenure to over 14 years.”
Looking ahead, P&H Milling Group remains steadfast in its commitment to growth, effectiveness, and leadership. “With family values guiding our path, we continue to evolve, retain top talent, and provide an environment where every employee can thrive and take pride in their contributions.”
P&H Milling Group epitomizes the seamless blend of tradition and innovation, where time-honored values drive forward-looking strategies, ensuring a legacy of excellence for generations to come.
