“Planet Shrimp”, Innovation Award Winner

 

September 20,, 2018 – Elgin, Ontario

Community Futures Ontario recognizes Planet Shrimp as the Innovation Award Winner of 2018.

Planet Shrimp is a fully indoor shrimp plant – as it is located in Aylmer– and therefore completely land-locked.

With an idea and assistance from Elgin Business Resource Centre (EBRC), they were able to create the successful productions they have today. By innovating new machinery and through relentless efforts, they have been able to grow their operations and ship their shrimp throughout Ontario to numerous restaurants. Planet Shrimp prides themselves on making quality product simply.

Congratulations Planet Shrimp and thank you to Elgin Business Resource Centre for nominating them!

Background:

Each year Community Futures Ontario, a government funded program to facilitating rural economic development, recognizes the successes and impact of Community Futures Development Corporations in three categories: Entrepreneur of the Year, Innovation, and Community Economic Development (CED).
