Modern Meat to Significantly Expand Production Capacity with New Manufacturing Facility

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2020) - Modern Meat Inc., (CSE: MEAT) ("Modern Meat") or (the "Company"), a premier plant-based food manufacturer, announced today it has entered into a contract to acquire a new production facility which will more than quadruple its manufacturing footprint. The expanded capacity will help support development and production of Modern Meat's line of plant-based products and allow for growth across new product launches.

"We have been actively looking for a larger space in order to increase manufacturing efforts aimed at meeting the rising demand for our products," said Tara Haddad, CEO of Modern Meat. "Our current facility quickly reached capacity and we want to ensure our customer's orders will be met as we continue to manage growth and the development of a national distribution network through our sales and marketing efforts."

The new production facility will support the Company’s aggressive expansion plans and will allow Modern Meat to significantly increase the volume of wholesale product to meet the growing popularity of the product and market demand.  The facility will include a tasting area permitting food service tastings to test the viability of new products and advancement of existing products.

"We are thrilled for our Company to have its own dedicated facility to address our growing production requirements. It is another milestone in our continued success and expansion across British Columbia. With this expansion comes the ability to hire more employees to keep pace with accelerating demand and will allow for a new level of product innovation we did not have before. Our growth strategy remains a focus and continues to unfold through additional sales channels, a widening distribution network, and brand awareness," states Ms. Haddad.
