OUR FACILITY

UK’s leading cannabis cultivation and drug development facility

Celadon has a 100,000 sq ft licenced facility based in the West Midlands in the UK. It is an EU-GMP facility with indoor hydroponic cultivation of high-THC cannabis flower, API extraction and an R&D lab for its drug development programme.

The facility has had substantial investment in it and has involved four years of close cooperation with UK regulators and the MHRA to build to EU-GMP standards and the highest level of security.

The facility is being built in three phases:

Phase 1: completed in 2021 with five indoor cultivation rooms, API extraction and R&D lab.
Phase 2: significant addition of indoor cultivation capacity, aiming to be operational in Q1 2023.
Phase 3: further expansion of cultivation and manufacturing capacity, with work targeted in 2024-25.

At full capacity, the facility could produce around 9 tonnes of product.

ENVIRONMENT

Celadon uses a highly controlled indoor cultivation environment in order to produce plants to the tightest pharmaceutical tolerances and cannabinoid content. Hydroponics is used to grow plants in a soilless substrate, with mineral salts dissolved into high quality filtered water and delivered direct to the roots of the plant. Micro-zoned sensors monitor every aspect of the environment in real time; from the room’s temperature, lighting cycles and humidity, to the plant’s mineral absorption and transpiration rates. This allows Celadon to build a data bank of optimal growing conditions for each strain, as well as adjust the room automatically.

TRACKING

Celadon has a bespoke “track and trace” system throughout the production process, providing complete transparency. Each plant is given a unique QR code, allowing it to be traced from its origins through to the final product. IOT boxes are used to automatically feed data into the system, from environmental data to the product’s weight, at each stage of production. This provides full visibility over the production process, as well as inventory tracking and accurate cost analysis which feeds into our accounting systems.
