Neptune starts to rebuild
Krill oil supplier Neptune Technologies & Bioressources Inc. announced that it has begun the reconstruction of its production facility in Sherbrooke, Québec that was destroyed by fire on Nov. 8, 2012.
Neptune said it expects the finished facility to have an increased capacity over the facility it is replacing, but did not specify tonnage totals.
In addition to the rebuilt facility, Neptune is pursuing a strategy of enlisting a contract manufacturing partner to provide manufacturing flexibility and security, and said recently it has narrowed the list of candidates and expects to make a decision soon.
