Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee opens coffee extract solutions facility
Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee is expanding into coffee extract solutions with the opening of a new facility in Ontario.
The company’s Complete Extract Solutions facility in Mississauga is a major milestone in its multi-year, multi-million dollar plan for a strategic coffee extract platform.
Housed within Mother Parkers’ 320,000 square-foot facility, the operation is designed to support commercial-volume production across multiple formats.
Complete Extract Solutions combines coffee sourcing, roasting, extraction, aseptic processing, product development, packaging and commercial-scale manufacturing.
The facility is designed to support cold brew, iced coffee, coffee concentrates and other coffee extract formulations.
Mother Parkers said the expansion will allow it to better support its foodservice, retail, private label and industrial customers to develop, test and scale cold coffee and broader coffee extract solutions across Canada and the U.S.
“Complete Extract Solutions is an important milestone in the continued evolution of Mother Parkers and a result of our multi-year, multi-million-dollar strategic investment plan to build a strategic coffee extract platform,” said Danielle Barran, president and CEO, Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee, in a press release. “We are investing in innovation because customers need practical, scalable ways to bring cold coffee and coffee extract solutions to market with consistency, quality and operational simplicity. We are proud to build this capability in Ontario, drawing on our Canadian roots while supporting customers across North America.”
The operation is purpose-built for liquid coffee extracts. Its aseptic processing capability allows products to be shelf stable before opening.
For retail and private-label customers, Mother Parkers said it can support ready-to-drink, concentrate and other coffee-based beverage formats.
