As part of a strategic initiative to increase penetration of the Atlantic Canadian market, the company acquired competitor Humpty Dumpty in 2000, which added an existing manufacturing and distribution facility in Hartland, New Brunswick to the Old Dutch Foods network.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"x-section-4\" class=\"x-section cs-ta-center sectionRow90\" style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px;
