Bioriginal Food and Science Corp. is the winner of the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership’s Exporter of the Year Award.
The Saskatoon company is seen as a global leader in delivering omega solutions to the food and nutraceutical industries.
It created its first omega ingredient, borage oil, by working directly with regional producers. Over time, it has expanded and added new ingredients. Today, the company has offices and facilities in the United States, Europe, South America and Asia.
“Bioriginal has successfully developed and executed a unique export business model, which combines scientific business and industry expertise to successfully create market-focused omega products,” said STEP president Chad Fleck.
