NEXE Innovations Inc. announced that its has installed its proprietary equipment for the assembly of its fully-compostable Nespresso-compatible pods (the "Assembly Line") and the Assembly Line has passed its Site Acceptance Test ("SAT") at NEXE's facility. This innovative Assembly Line is the final piece of highly customized equipment required to launch NEXE's fully compostable Nespresso-compatible pod in early third quarter of 2021. SATs are used to validate the functionality of equipment on-site following its installation. NEXE now has custom automation equipment for the production of the two leading single-serve formats, being Keurig-compatible and Nespresso-compatible pods, and will continue to purchase additional equipment to increase production as required to fulfill growing sales. SATs require that the equipment successfully complete production while following all process parameters and requirements. The manufacturer also sends its representatives to witness and verify the test. The Nespresso-compatible automation demonstrates that NEXE's plant-based materials can be assembled at production speed proving the scalability of the technology. This Assembly Line will form the basis for additional production-scale equipment which will increase production capacity to an estimated 50 million NEXE Nespresso-compatible pods.
