Naturally Splendid Enterprises Ltd said it has begun installing a new state-of-the-art, automated packaging system at its existing 20,000 square foot food manufacturing facilities, in order to package NATERA plant-based products for the retail markets, food service, and web sales.
The company noted the versatile packaging system was selected for the array of products and packaging types it is designed to process, thus optimizing the opportunity to penetrate multiple channels.
“The addition of this packaging system is a game-changer for us. We offer one of the most expansive range of plant-based offerings available from a single manufacture and it was important for us to select a system that can accommodate such a wide range of SKUs (stock-keeping units) in multiple packaging options,” Naturally Splendid Enterprises chief financial officer Bryan Carson said in a statement.

“This significantly increases our opportunities for all distribution channels; however, the most significant effect will be realized from the increased opportunities targeted towards retail markets specifically,” Carson added.
Naturally Splendid said multiple packaging formats are a key feature that allows the company to manage an expanding line of plant-based products that can be offered to consumers.
Founded in 2010, Naturally Splendid runs a Safe Quality Food Level 2 certified food manufacturing facility outside Vancouver. The firm has established a slew of healthy, functional foods under brands such as Natera Sport, Natera Hemp Foods, CHII, Elevate Me, Woods Wild Bar, and more recently Natera Plant-Based Foods.
