Operations Operations.
The Company continues to make incremental improvements at its core facilities in Kincardine, Ontario and Langley, British Columbia, to enhance production, processing and operating efficiency.
Kincardine Facility
The Kincardine Facility implemented several changes with solid success.
- In August, the facility completed its fuel conversion from propane to natural gas, which is expected to deliver $1.5 million in annual savings
- Bottled flower containers at the facility have been optimized to address shelf presence and reduce the cost of procurement and is expected to deliver savings of over $1.0 million annually
- The facility also optimized its boiler systems, resulting in significantly more consistent climate control
Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company’s processing license for the Kincardine Facility was amended by Health Canada on October 29 to authorize commercial sale of cannabis products in the cannabis extracts class of cannabis. The Company also received a research license at the Kincardine Facility on November 12.
Langley Facility
The continuous improvement program at the Langley Facility continues to yield positive results. A key focus has been on improving conversion yields through first-pass extraction and distillation and further enhancing quality in these processes.
