Epicore BioNetworks Inc. Completes Infrastructure Expansion

On Aug 19, 2015

Epicore announces that the infrastructure expansion announced in 2014 is now completed. This investment in Epicore’s Eastampton (New Jersey) facility supports the company’s growing and profitable core aquaculture business. The expansion comprises a new building on empty land that is adjacent to the current facility. This land was purchased in 2011 to cover just such a need. Construction costs were approximately at $1.0 million, which was financed from company cash and cash flow.

The new construction is part of a two phase approach. The first phase is the 6000-square-foot facility, which was just completed. The second phase will be a 6,000 square foot addition built in the future as facility needs evolve.

Epicore sales have grown strongly since 2011, as demand for aquaculture productivity enhancing products has increased. The new facility will supplement the current facility and house manufacturing and warehousing. It will reduce the current need for outside and offsite storage and will improve the efficiency of the current manufacturing operation. The additional space will facilitate maintenance of current and future quality certifications.
