$28 Million invested in new 100,000 square foot K-CAPS® facility with additional 50% capsule production increase; nearly 3-times the amount CapsCanada invested in a 2014 HPMC capsule expansion to meet rising global demand for K-CAPS®.
POMPANO BEACH, FL February 27, 2018 (PRNewswire): CapsCanada, a leading provider of capsules for pharmaceutical drugs and dietary supplements, announced today the addition of a new, state-of-the-art, dedicated hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) capsule manufacturing facility.

Produced with 100% plant-derived material, CapsCanada’s K-CAPS® are ideal for consumers with dietary restrictions prohibiting the consumption of animal byproduct and are suitable for a wide range of formulations.

CapsCanada is the original innovator and leading manufacturer of HPMC capsules for a variety of applications, including those that are liquid, hygroscopic or otherwise sensitive to moisture.
