Vancouver, B.C. - TheNewswire - May 27, 2021  –  Solarvest BioEnergy Inc. (“Solarvest”, or the “Company”) (TSXV:SVS), is pleased to announce, that as part of its operational  expansion program, the Company has added key personnel.  These positions will be required as production volumes increase to allow the company more control over quality control and scheduling, and increase the profitability of the finished product. Additionally, the Company will be better able to facilitate the development and scale up of new products using its proprietary processes while ensuring organic and cGMP compliance.

 

The following three team leaders have been added to the Company’s operations:

 

First, the Company has hired a Production Team Leader who has spent the last 7 years with Novartis/Eli Lilly focusing on technology transfer and scale-up of fermentation processes, from research and development scale to commercial manufacturing scale, with new automated fermentation systems. His expertise will be important as the company expands its contract manufacturing and commissions in-house production.

 

Secondly, joining the Company is a Regulatory Affairs/QC Manager who has expertise in internal and external quality control audit programs, and will conduct quality management and technical audits against the ISO/IEC 17025 standard and the ISO 9001 standard. Hosting external audits for the SCC, Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and clients. Her regulatory experience will help the Company open new markets while her seven years of experience with the Atlantic Veterinary College will have immediate applications with the recently announced animal health product development program.

 

Finally, we welcome a Product Development Scientist who has experience in the nutraceutical/food processing business both with internal production processes and maintained supplier(s) approval program.  She will be supporting our “white label” 3rd. party customers and their development teams as we design new value added products using our proprietary EU and USDA certified organic Omega-3 powder.

 

Gerri Greenham, CEO commented, “As the market for our products continues to grow, these experienced employees will complement our fermentation and production operations in our facility in Summerville, PEI and will provide additional operational expertise for future expansion while maintaining the Company’s commitment to quality control.  This facility has been built to accommodate large scale fermentation and will be one of only a few large scale organically certified fermentation suites in the world.  Prince Edward Island has a thriving Bio-Science sector with extremely qualified professionals running installations for many  bio-pharmaceutical/pharmaceutical companies.“
