Oppy opens new expanded facility in Calgary

Oppy has opened a new, expanded office and warehouse facility in south Calgary. 

The new additions “bolster its service capabilities across the Prairies and strengthen its long-term commitment to Western Canada,” notes a press release. 

With the previous location’s lease expiring, the new location is 50% bigger than the previous Calgary facility and was developed in response to the company’s business growth in the area. 

“Our growing core business, combined with the rise in third-party logistics, meant we needed more room,” said Stewart Lapage, vice president of supply chain and logistics. “This new space allows us to offer enhanced services like packing, bagging, grading and ripening, while improving how we move and store produce.”

The new facility features packing lines, bagging equipment and specialized ripening and grading technologies that support a wide range of produce. The property also includes energy efficiency lighting, EV chargers in parking lots and motion controlled lighting. 

Oppy has hired nearly half a dozen new team members in Calgary and plans to add six more roles in the near future.
