James Fletcher, one of the founders and the operational manager of EIC stated, "We have submitted a comprehensive evidence package to Health Canada. License permitting, we are confident in our timelines to be able to reach first packaged sales in Q4 of this year. We have designed our facility to be technologically advanced and highly efficient, which will position us to be able to handle high-volume output while maintaining industry leading quality and cost structure. We will leverage our nearly 100 years of knowledge and experience manufacturing confectionery to produce the best quality cannabis infused candies and disrupt the existing cannabis edibles marketplace.” 

The recently completed 51,500 square-foot production ready Edibles Facility (See Press Release dated May 15, 2020) utilizes state of the art equipment technology and when fully operational, EIC expects to produce over 250,000 pieces of precisely dosed edibles per eight-hour shift.  With the facility’s equipment efficiencies, EIC can easily pivot to provide specific dosing and custom candies to meet regulatory requirements and customer specifications, while also reducing the risk of contamination or degradation of the cannabis inputs.  The company currently holds a Research and Development License from Health Canada which it intends to use to develop and perfect the recipes and formulations for client edibles, increasing customer satisfaction, reducing operational risk and allowing the company to move into revenue quickly once the Standard Processing License is obtained.
