Burcon Nutrascience Corporation reported that it has commenced building a Peazazz semi-works production facility: a first commercial-scale plant to produce Peazazz(TM), the world's premier pea protein that offers exceptional usability and high-quality protein nutrition. The transparent, pea protein is expected to be available for customers looking to purchase commercial-scale market development quantities beginning in July of this year. Planning and engineering for this semi-works production plant began in the summer of 2012.

Equipment orders are now in-place and, subject to timely delivery, Burcon projects to have the facility completed and operational by mid-year. The Peazazz semi-works plant, which is being built in Winnipeg, Manitoba, will enable Burcon to provide market development quantities (tonnage amounts) to customers for product and market development activities.
