Experion, a Licensed Producer Applicant, is located one hour east of the heart of downtown Metro Vancouver. Sean MacNeil, of Experion's Communications, says: "Our facility location allows for cost-effective transportation and logistical controls as well as being out of the way from the hustle and bustle of the central business district of the Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond hubs. We are best positioned to take competitive advantage of our location, and serve as the primary provider of product and starting materials for the industry."
Experion has taken the communication from the federal government very seriously; implementing its approved design and proprietary operating systems, while raising all necessary funds to complete construction. A fast-track program is now in place to complete the facility during Q1 of 2017.
