Layn Corp., a global producer of premium-quality, plant-based sweeteners, functional botanical extracts, and animal nutrition ingredients is launched its new line of CBD ingredients at IFT19.
 
Layn’s CBD manufacturing facility is expected to be completed in Fall 2020. The facility will have the capability of processing a minimum of 5,000 tons of hemp biomass per year, which will yield 160 tons of high purity CBD and 290 tons of full spectrum oil annually. The project’s total investment will be an estimated $60 million, most of which will go into the construction of the new U.S. based facility. Layn is currently in the process of completing the filing procedures to receive approval for this project.
 
“Layn has over 20 years of experience in biomass farming management and our world-class R&D team has developed advanced botanical extraction technology that we are now applying to hemp farming and CBD extraction,” said Frank Xie, EVP, Board Director of Guilin Layn Natural Ingredients Corp. “We have also taken great care in building a sustainable supply chain for the ingredients we offer and are committed to carrying this expertise into our CBD line.”
 
Layn has partnered with farmers that have been growing hemp since the Farm Bill passed in 2014. With this partnership, in Fall 2019, Layn will offer CBD products from large scale farming operations with the ability to utilize cutting edge cultivation techniques within both organic and conventional certified hemp.
 
Layn will make its CBD ingredients available in a number of forms, including

• Full Spectrum Oil
• Broad Spectrum Oil
• CBD Distillate
• Crystallized Isolate offering the purest CBD
