Canadian grain and ingredient company, Scoular, has opened a high-speed flax processing facility in Regina, Saskatchewan. Scoular’s new plant will support the company’s ongoing commitment to providing marketing opportunities for Canadian farmers. The facility will produce whole and milled flax – available in the brown or golden categories – for a range of applications, including bread, cereal, bars, snacks, pasta, oils and supplements. Drew Fossum, Scoular’s product group manager, said: “Our new facility is a testament to Scoular’s dedication to Canadian producers. We are committed to providing these growers a competitive market for their flax. The facility has outstanding capabilities and it further strengthens Scoular’s position as a reliable and consistent supplier of flax to our customers.” The facility is the first flax plant to open in Western Canada in almost ten years.
