CapsCanada announced the addition of a new, state-of-the-art, dedicated hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) capsule manufacturing facility. With this investment, CapsCanada has now increased capsule output by 50%.
Produced with 100% plant-derived material, CapsCanada's K-CAPS work well for consumers with dietary restrictions prohibiting the consumption of animal byproduct and are suitable for a variety of formulations.
"The new factory was built because we saw worldwide acceptance of K-CAPS as the preferred HPMC based capsule,” said Jonathan Gilinski, Executive Director. “Compared to other HPMC capsules, K-CAPS have exceptional aesthetics and perform better on automatic capsule filling machines; directly translating into reduced raw material loss and downtime for our customers."
The company previously made a $10 million expansion of their Windsor, Ontario site in 2014, experiencing growing global demand for its products. K-CAPS are sold in more than 60 countries worldwide.
