Power Leaves Expands Production Capacity for Coca Extract

News related to:Power Leaves Holdings Corp · 3 min read

Power Leaves Holdings Corp, a company that has developed a second legal supply chain for decocainized coca extract, has announced significant progress in expanding its production capacity and quality systems. The company, which has been working on this initiative for over four years, has secured a substantial commercial pipeline of more than 100 companies across the global food, beverage, and ingredient sectors.

The development of Power Leaves' supply chain began in earnest four years ago, with the aim of breaking the monopoly on the supply of coca leaf extract, which has traditionally been controlled by a single company. The company has since established a fully integrated Colombian supply chain, securing exclusive long-term raw material access and developing novel extraction processes. This move positions Power Leaves to serve a multi-trillion-dollar global market, including mainstream food, beverage, active lifestyle, and alcohol categories.

A key milestone in Power Leaves' journey was the completion of extensive counterparty diligence over the past two years. Tier 1 U.S. flavour houses and co-packers, as well as other major industry players, have undergone rigorous validation processes. These evaluations have independently verified both the quality of Power Leaves' products and the integrity of its legal supply chain. The company has also received brand approvals from major North American CPG brands, laying the groundwork for commercial integration.

Despite the strong demand for its products, Power Leaves has faced a capacity constraint. The company's current production capacity is insufficient to meet the needs of its growing commercial pipeline. To address this, Power Leaves has secured proceeds from its recent public listing, which are now being deployed to scale its annual processing capacity. The company plans to increase its annual processing capacity from the current baseline to 360,000 litres by the end of 2026, with a target of 2,000,000 litres by the end of 2027.

In addition to expanding production capacity, Power Leaves is also focusing on quality systems and audit readiness. The company is driving the final implementation of global food-safety certifications, automated quality controls, and compliance with Tier 1 customer audits. To accelerate market access, Power Leaves is working to establish a manufacturing partnership with a leading contract manufacturing organization in Colombia, providing access to already-certified capacity.

With the expansion work already underway, Power Leaves expects to receive initial commercial orders from major pipeline counterparties in the coming weeks. The company anticipates that these orders will be followed by scaled, larger-volume purchase commitments as additional capacity is commissioned. This move is expected to significantly boost the company's revenue and market presence.

In a statement, Pat McCutcheon, CEO of Power Leaves, said, "Four years of development and two years of customer diligence have put us in an excellent position. More than a hundred companies want an ingredient that has only ever had one source. Demand has never been our problem. Capacity has. The listing gave us the capital to solve that, and we did not wait, expansion and quality systems work are already in motion."

The company's expansion plans are part of its broader strategy to break the monopoly on the supply of coca leaf extract and to commercialize its proprietary products, Coca Extract and Coca Essence, as novel, all-natural ingredients for the global food and beverage market. Through its infrastructure, which includes three purpose-built facilities in the Neiva region of Colombia, Power Leaves is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for these ingredients.
