VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2021 / Naturally Splendid Enterprises Ltd. ("Naturally Splendid" or "NSE" or the "Company") (FRANKFURT:50N) (TSX-V:NSP) (OTC:NSPDF) announces a non-brokered private placement financing of up to 100,000,000 Units (each a "Unit") at a price of
Each Unit in the non-brokered private placement consists of one common share of Naturally Splendid and one common share purchase warrant (each a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share for a period of two years from the date of the issue at an exercise price of
Proceeds of the Offering will be directed primarily towards purchasing and installing a new manufacturing line, to produce plant-based food entrees as well as for day-to-day operations. This state-of-the-art manufacturing line will be installed in our existing 20,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Pitt Meadows, BC and replicates the manufacturing line currently used in the production facility in Australia, in order to produce the plant-based products currently being imported from Flexitarian Foods Pty. Ltd., a division of Australia's largest plant-based manufacturer.
Funds will also be directed to facility upgrades including an industrial freezer as well as increasing electrical and plumbing infrastructure. These upgrades will take place concurrently while we await the arrival of the new manufacturing line.
Once completed the facility will be capable of manufacturing a wide range of plant-based alternatives for beef, chicken, pork, fish and shellfish. This line is capable of producing ten (10) tons of finished plant-based entrees daily initially. As efficiencies are attained it is expected that this line will produce up to twenty (20) tons of finished plant-based entrees daily.
As reported in an earlier news release, the Company has begun installation of a sophisticated packaging system for NATERA Plant Based products for retail markets, food service and web sales. This versatile packaging system was selected for the range of products and packaging types it is designed to process, thus optimizing the opportunity to penetrate multiple channels.
Leveraging the existing infrastructure of our current production facility and optimizing manufacturing capacity and packaging flexibility is key as we engage with larger food service and retail clients. The upgraded manufacturing facility will provide the platform and wherewithal to acquire larger clients and the maintain a steady supply to meet demand.
Naturally Splendid CEO Mr. J. Craig Goodwin states, "The combination of a new plant-based production line and new packaging line is game changing for Naturally Splendid. This manufacturing and packaging system has been selected for its versatility and capacity. As we engage with larger food service and retail clients, it is essential to be able to meet their demands in packaging options as well as scalability to meet volume demands and this system allows us to do exactly that. Manufacturing ourselves rather than importing has several significant operational advantages including reduced cost per unit, inventory controls and the ability to customize production to meet the requirements of clients in Canada and the United States."
