A new 100,000-square-foot expansion to Organigram’s Moncton production facility officially opened on Tuesday.

Organigram currently has 135,000 square feet of production space, allowing it to grow 22 million grams of marijuana a year. That's one of the 50 strains currently being produced at the Moncton facility.

It took just over a year to complete phase two. Phase three could be finished by May, and phases four and five will be closer to 2020.

“Over the next two years as we expand to our full facility, it'll just be under 500,000 square feet on three levels. We'll be at over 100,000 kilograms or 100 million grams,” says Organigram CEO Greg Engel.
