Pilot Plant Manager

The Saint-Hyacinthe Research and Development Centre pilot plant's team works closely with scientific researchers and supports them with its expertise in the use of fermentation, processing, conservation and scaling processes of meat, dairy and plant products.
It also works to help agri-food companies in their daily challenges (product development, research and development, testing of new conservation technologies, etc.).
With more than 350 devices available for rental on site, the pilot plant has 5 expert technologists who offer a food processing assistance service from the beginning to the end of the production line.
