A. The UK customers are awesome. I
notice that in Europe they look at a juice
for taste and quality before anything and
appreciate a premium product.
Q. Your lab facilities in Canada look very
impressive indeed. Can you tell us a little
about the set up you have there? (Type
of facility, equipment etc.)
A. We have a 1,400 square foot Iso
7 engineered lab and vestibule and a
vacuum fill system from Accutek USA.
We are currently expanding our facility
with two more Accuteck machines each
upgraded with a 12 valve vacuum filler
and an additional labs space of 3,000
square feet in our new 15,000 square
foot facility which will be operation some
time this summer 2016.
to Europe so soon. How would you
compare the European market to that in
Canada and the USA?
A. The reason is my European sales
were enough to make this decision.
Also I want to make sure my product is
manufactured to my procedures and I
love London and look forward to making
it my second home.
Q. The Tobacco Products Directive has

plans in Europe, if at all?
A. I am ready for the change.
Q. In the US the FDA has just
announced what looks like really severe
new regulation. Do you have any
thoughts on what is happening over
there?
A. I am working with my US partners and
lawyer to see how this plays out.
Q. Can you tell us more about the
company’s plans for the future and when
can we expect to see the new flavour
ranges that you will be bringing out? Any
clues as to what they may be?
A. I have 6 new lines to come in the next
12 months and I always make sure my
juices lines are always better than the
last.
Q. How will the new lab in London
compare with your existing facility and
what will it mean to the company in terms
of expansion and meeting the demand
for your products?
A. The new lab in London will be
identical to our original lab built for us for
Canada. To start with our products will
be shipped from our co-packer in the US
until we are operational. We are just to
busy to have any down time.
