TORONTO, July 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eve & Co Incorporated (the “Company” or “Eve & Co”) (TSXV: EVE; OTCQX: EEVVF) is pleased to announce Health Canada’s approval of two additional drying rooms. These drying rooms are expected to add 1,600 square feet of drying space and have an estimated capacity of up to 30,000 plants.

These rooms have increased our drying capacity six-fold, allowing us to take full advantage of our automated packaging line and efficiently fulfill orders,” said Melinda Rombouts, President and CEO.  “These drying rooms will enable us to handle increased production from our 780,000 sq. ft. expansion which is expected to be completed by the end of this month.”
