- William and Harry Voortman founded the company in 1951. The two brothers started their business from a house in Hamilton, Ontario and after trying different types of baked goods they decided to concentrate on cookies. In 1956, a grocery chain agreed to give the Voortman products shelf space and by the next year the brothers were able to build a facility in Burlington that employed 12 people.

- From its mere beginnings to today, Harry Voortman has seen the bakery grow to its impressive "state of the art" 250,000-sq. ft. facility - with a capacity of 20 million cookies a day, housing 7 cookie lines, 3 wafer lines, 10 ovens and employing over 400 people. Over 60 different cookie varieties and sugar wafers are available to the consumer in packages or from the self-serve bulk Cookie Huts.

- Voortman Cookies Limited delivers throughout North America to over 500 distributors, who operate as independent businesspersons, servicing over 50,000 stores. The distributors receive their cookie orders every other week and are responsible for direct store deliveries, their own inventory control, and product code freshness at the stores.

- Appleby Transportation Limited is Voortman Cookies Limited exclusive transportation carrier and delivers cookies directly to the Voortman Cookie distributor. Appleby Transportation Limited is a licensed freight carrier and has back haul service for Voortman ingredients used in production.

- Voortman Cookies Limited prides itself on a long history of producing traditional home-style quality baked products with freshness guaranteed at an excellent price.

- Company headquarters and the bakery are located in Burlington, Ontario, which is an ideal location for reaching the rapidly expanding North American market.
