As a cornerstone of our strategic global expansion beyond Asia-Pacific, Hsviko Canada serves as the regional headquarters overseeing North American manufacturing, operations, procurement, and customer service. We are actively preparing for the groundbreaking of our Canadian manufacturing plant, scheduled to begin operations in September 2027 to achieve localized production.
Concurrently, Hsviko Canada is establishing strategic R&D partnerships with leading Nova Scotia agricultural and food science institutions—including Perennia and the Dalhousie Faculty of Agriculture—while actively engaging with provincial development agencies such as Invest Nova Scotia. Furthermore, we are directly sourcing premium Atlantic Canadian raw materials, including wild lowbush blueberry anthocyanins, deep-sea fish oil, and high-purity chitosan, to integrate into our global supply chain.
