For more than 20 years, Burcon has been at the forefront of the plant-based protein revolution, developing high-quality plant-based protein ingredients and has successfully commercialized unique proteins from pea, canola and soy. After years of research on developing these products and the associated extraction technologies and in running large-scale pilot operations to a standard that meets Burcon’s expectations of commercial quality, Burcon has amassed significant experience and know-how.

At Burcon’s Winnipeg Technical Centre, Burcon has designed and built a semi-works production facility, complete with an analytical laboratory, for the development and production of proteins from various plant sources. The semi-works facility utilizes commercial-scale equipment and is capable of producing the tonnage amounts required by food and beverage makers looking to conduct full-scale market evaluations of Burcon’s novel protein ingredients in their consumer products.
