Edmonton-based BioNeutra is nearly doubling its manufacturing capacity and bringing its bottle processing to the area following a nearly $3-million cash infusion from the federal government.
Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD) announced on Wednesday the company will receive $2.9 million to accelerate the expansion of its facility, which produces organic plant-based food ingredients for the global market. The additional dollars are anticipated to create 20 more jobs for the company over the next four years.
