A State-of-the-Art Facility
Our Saint Anthony plant is designed from the ground up to meet the most rigorous standards of medical-grade biopolymer production. Equipped with cutting-edge extraction and purification systems, the facility ensures that every batch of chitosan achieves unparalleled purity, consistency, and molecular strength. By integrating advanced automation with precision monitoring, we deliver a product that is not only scientifically superior but also reliably scalable for global demand.
Harnessing the Power of Shrimp Shells
Located on Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula, the plant is strategically positioned near one of the richest sources of shrimp shells in the world. This proximity allows us to minimize transport, reduce emissions, and maximize freshness of raw materials. Every shell that enters our facility is part of a circular economy model, where what was once considered waste is transformed into a life-changing medical resource.
Community and Global Impact
Our facility is more than a production site—it is a cornerstone of the local economy. By investing in Saint Anthony, we provide skilled employment opportunities and strengthen the region’s role in the global bioeconomy. At the same time, our innovations ripple outward, empowering industries worldwide with a biopolymer that is cleaner, stronger, and smarter.
The Scientists Behind the Revolution
At the heart of Atlantic Bio Corp’s success are superior scientists and innovators who saw possibility where others saw waste. By reimagining how shrimp and crab shells could be transformed, they developed groundbreaking, ecologically friendly production techniques that preserve the acetyl chain and strengthen the molecular structure of chitosan. This scientific achievement ensures that Canada now leads the world in producing the strongest, most reliable medical-grade chitosan.
From Vision to Breakthrough
Dante Enewold, founder of Atlantic Bio Corp, exemplifies this spirit of innovation. Inspired by his time in the fishing industry, he recognized that discarded shells could be the foundation of something extraordinary. Working alongside a team of dedicated researchers, he pioneered a process that not only maximizes molecular integrity but also minimizes environmental impact.Their approach has been recognized nationally, earning awards such as the Mel Woodward Cup, which celebrates entrepreneurial and scientific excellence in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Science Serving Humanity
The team’s breakthroughs mean more than stronger molecules—they mean better outcomes for patients, safer materials for industry, and cleaner processes for the planet. Every discovery is guided by a commitment to human health and ecological stewardship.
Canada has long been recognized for its precision, integrity, and uncompromising standards in science. Atlantic BioCorp’s scientists embody this tradition, pushing boundaries to deliver a biopolymer trusted worldwide. Their achievement is not just a scientific milestone—it is a Canadian triumph, proving that innovation rooted in sustainability can reshape global industries.
