Pitura Seeds, located near Domain, MB, recently broke ground on the largest family-owned pedigreed seed processing operation in western Canada.
The company's new state-of-the-art cleaning facility will process up to 1,000 bushels per hour, with the potential to double capacity in the future. The focus will be on cereals and soybeans.
“Having been a pedigreed seed grower since the 1970s, I’ve seen great evolution in our industry,” says Calvin Pitura, Chairman of Pitura Seeds. “Today I see remarkable opportunities for growth in the certified seed market, and its ability to provide value to our grower customers.”
The new concrete structure will be located north of the current business, located approximately 3 miles west of Domain. The expansion will more than triple Pitura Seeds’ total cleaning capacity.
“At the end of the day, this expansion is all about doing more for our customers,” said Tom Greaves, President and General Manager of the company. “Our company’s success has been driven by focusing on their needs.”
