St. Cousair began working with Business Oregon in October 2016 when they first visited Oregon to search for potential locations for a U.S. manufacturing facility. After several months of site selection and extensive due diligence, St. Cousair purchased a location in Newberg, Oregon, for their U.S. facility in late April 2017. The company has already invested $4,100,000 in both real estate and the purchase of Berry Noir Co-Packing. The company plans to invest an additional $6,000,000 during the next 18 months in equipment, extensive facility upgrades and new buildings, waste water system improvements, and operating capital. In addition to the capital investment outlined above, the company will utilize the $100,000 SRF request to assist with improvements and upgrades to their facility in 2017.
