Bay State Milling has acquired a stake in MGM Seed & Grain of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, to secure access to a gluten-free oat supply chain. MGM Seed & Grain is building an oat processing facility in Saskatoon that will be a dedicated gluten-free facility. The partnership with MGM provides Bay State Milling customers with gluten-free oat products including rolled, quick, and steel cut oats as well as oat flour.
Bay State Milling supplies an array of ingredients including wheat and rye flours, durum semolina, whole milled flours, ancient grains, edible seeds, grain and flour blends, and sweet spices sourced through established supply chain partners around the globe. The company’s partnership with MGM Seed & Grain fills a critical gap by bringing gluten-free oats into that product portfolio. In addition, MGM Seed & Grain has the capability to process buckwheat in the future, which would further enhance the company’s supply chain strength on buckwheat groats and flour.
“Bay State Milling has been a great partner and we are excited about the potential to leverage their milling, marketing, and distribution capabilities,” said Ron Blazeiko, president of MGM Seed & Grain.
