2023 Third Quarter and Nine-Month Financial, and Operational Highlights
“We are pleased to report that, during the third quarter, we successfully began high-quality decaffeination on our new second line in Delta, BC. This marked the consolidation of Swiss Water’s production activities onto one site, and the final transition away from our legacy production assets in Burnaby, BC. Our sales and logistics teams performed admirably during the quarter and year-to-date as they managed the temporary reduction in capacity and the allocation of available production. The team successfully front-end loaded significant customer demand into Q1, before our Burnaby shutdown, enabling balanced customer service through Q3”, said Frank Dennis, Swiss Water’s President and CEO. “As we look forward into the fourth quarter of 2023, we expect to see a strong recovery of volumes with the additional capacity back on line within the third quarter. Initial performance of our new line has been very good and we are optimistic that we can increase the production rate of this line over the coming months. Moving forward, this extra capacity will help enable more roasters to respond to consumer demand by accelerating their migration to chemical free decaffeinated coffee.”, Dennis added.
