A Sarnia plant that's using corn to produce bio-succinic acid has hit another milestone.
BioAmber says they've started shipping product to customers and the plant is operating its manufacturing process at commercial scale.
According to the company, the yield and productivity levels of the Sarnia plan already exceeded the targets the plant was designed to hit longer term.
One BioAmber official says that means the company could see better operating margins than had been originally projected.
The Sarnia plant uses corn glucose from suppliers in London to create it's bio-succinic acid.
It's estimate the plant will use the equivalent of 3 million bushels of Ontario corn a year.
