Construction Starts on New Concept-to-Fork Facility in Minnesota
Calyxt, Inc. broke ground on a new concept-to-fork facility in Roseville, MN, near Minneapolis-St. Paul. The 11-acre site will include a 40,000-square-foot corporate headquarters, state-of-the-art research labs and test kitchen. The new project will be adjacent to the recently-completed, more than 11,000-square-foot greenhouses and the existing outdoor demonstration plots.
Calyxt’s Federico Tripodi says, “This groundbreaking marks a pivotal moment in the history of Calyxt, as the new facility has been specifically designed to bolster scientific innovation when it comes to creating the next-generation of healthy foods for consumers.”
The facility will also enable the company to accelerate the development of its growing pipeline as it moves closer to introducing its first commercialized product in 2018, the high-oleic soybean. Planned to deliver in the spring of 2018, the facility will further support Calyxt’s growth plans for increased process automation and staff expansion to up to 100 employees.
