In an exciting development, Canadian sports hydration and nutrition brand BioSteel has expanded its operations by opening a new manufacturing facility in Ontario.
This modern facility, located in Windsor, is currently undergoing a National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) certification audit, with full certification anticipated shortly. This certification serves as a significant indicator of product safety and quality for consumers and partners alike.
The establishment of this facility is expected to empower BioSteel to take full control of its production process. Consequently, the company aims to meet the stringent demands of professional athletes and sports leagues effectively.
“Having the ability to produce our own products and meet NSF standards is a complete game-changer for BioSteel,” stated CEO Dan Crosby. “It allows us to elevate our innovation and product quality while ensuring we remain the go-to brand for professional athletes and anyone seeking the best in hydration and nutrition.”
Establishing this facility in Windsor signifies more than merely creating jobs; it reinforces BioSteel’s commitment to leading the sports hydration and nutrition sector.
Founded in 2009, BioSteel specializes in producing ready-to-drink sports drinks and powders tailored for the North American market.
The Windsor facility intends to manufacture powders and stick packs. It boasts the capability to produce over 100 million stick packs annually and generate between 1,000 to 10,000 containers of powder each day, depending on demand, as reported by local radio station AM800 CKLW.
Crosby was cited by the radio as stating that the sports drinks of BioSteel will continue to be produced by Flow Beverage in Aurora, Ontario for the time being.
In January last year, BioSteel and Flow Beverage established a new three-year agreement to manufacture and package beverages for BioSteel in the Tetra Prisma format, an octagonal carton.
Flow Beverage has been producing BioSteel-branded beverages since 2020, and the projected take-or-pay revenue for Flow Beverage is estimated to surpass $19 million throughout the duration of the agreement.
