Armstrong Melts Slices

Armstrong is a historic Canadian cheese brand with roots dating back to 1902 when it was founded in the town of Armstrong, British Columbia. Originally starting as a small local creamery, the brand evolved over the 20th century to become a household name across Canada, recognized for its variety of cheddar and processed cheese products.

Today, Armstrong is manufactured primarily in Canada, utilizing Canadian dairy to maintain its national identity and support local agriculture. The brand is managed with a focus on both traditional natural cheeses and convenient formats like the 'Melts' processed slices shown here.

The brand underwent a major ownership change in 2003 when it was acquired by Saputo Inc., a global dairy giant. Saputo, headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, remains the ultimate owner. Under Saputo's stewardship, Armstrong has solidified its position as one of the leading cheese brands in the Canadian market, benefitting from Saputo's extensive distribution network and manufacturing capabilities.
