POS PILOT PLANT TO BE UPGRADED

Released on April 3, 2000

POS Pilot Plant Corporation in Saskatoon will undergo a significant upgrade

that will allow it to meet the highest food manufacturing standards and

regulations.



Saskatchewan Economic and Co-operative Development is providing $465,000 in

funding through the Strategic Initiatives Fund to help the company make

essential enhancements to its processing plant.



POS Pilot Plant is a non-profit research and development facility, which serves

the agri-food industry. The firm assists other companies in developing

technologies for processing biologically-based materials, mainly agricultural

products such as canola, cereal grains, pulses and other specialty crops.



"Consumers are becoming more health conscious and demanding that processed

foods meet the highest standards of health and safety," Economic and Co-

operative Development Minister Janice MacKinnon said. "The upgrades being made

will ensure POS Pilot Plant meets those standards and continues its excellent

reputation for leading-edge research."



"This government support will significantly improve our ability to deliver

programs in a Good Manufacturing Pratice (GMP) setting for the food and

neutraceutical industry," POS Pilot Plant Corporation President and CEO Bob

Morgan said. "Our enhanced pilot plant capabilities will ensure, for our

clients, strict quality and compliance to regulations underlie all of the

projects at POS."



Saskatchewan's Strategic Initiatives Fund was renamed the Strategic Investment

Fund in the recent provincial budget. Its mandate is to provide seed money and

fund feasibility studies, business plans and specialized technical equipment

purchases for the province's research firms.
