CellCore Technologies is building Canada’s first Indigenous-owned nitrocellulose production facility, delivering sovereign energetics manufacturing capacity for Canada and its allies.
CellCore Technologies Inc. is Canada’s first and only Indigenous-owned nitrocellulose manufacturer, building next-generation sovereign manufacturing capacity for critical industries.
Founded to address strategic gaps in Canada’s defence industrial supply chain, CellCore combines deep technical expertise with a commitment to research innovation, sovereignty, and environmental responsibility. Our team brings decades of experience in chemical engineering, industrial capacity and defence.
We work closely with government, industry, and institutional partners to ensure Canada maintains reliable, domestic access to critical materials that build industrial resilience. We believe that strong domestic capacity building is not just an economic advantage - it is a strategic imperative.
Institutional R&D partnerships in place
Domestic production for Canada and its NATO allies.
Modern closed-loop, environmentally responsible manufacturing.
Indigenous-led and owned business with meaningful partnerships.
CellCore’s production facility is the flagship operation at the new Defence Manufacturing Hub in Saskatchewan, developed in partnership with Des Nedhe Group Defence.
The site boasts existing road access, rail connectivity, water supply, and electrical power - infrastructure advantages that give CellCore an estimated two-year head start over any comparable initiative in Canada.
Groundbreaking is scheduled to happen by Q3 2026, with first production targeted for 2028.
Nitrocellulose-based powders are essential inputs across defence energetics and high-performance industrial applications.
Propellants for artillery, mortar systems, and small arms ammunition. Critical inputs for defence manufacturing.
Specialty coatings and composite materials for demanding aerospace environments and performance requirements.
High-durability lacquers and protective finishes for automotive, marine, and industrial applications.
Membrane filtration and controlled-release drug delivery systems built on cellulose-based inputs.
Specialty inks and flexographic coatings that deliver consistent performance at commercial scale.
Nail lacquers and film-forming agents meeting exacting quality and safety standards.
Global supply chains for critical materials are under pressure. CellCore exists to ensure that Canada and its allies have secure, domestic access to high-performance advanced materials to improve industrial resilience for critical industries.
Secured site with existing infrastructure puts CellCore operationally ahead of any comparable initiative in Canada.
Demand already exceeds annual production capacity, with contracts spanning NATO-allied countries.
Domestic production reduces dependence on foreign sources, ensuring continuity for critical applications.
Built to meet the most demanding specifications, with full traceability from source to shipment.
Engineered for expansion with additional labour rather than capital expenditure.
Structural Indigenous ownership contributing to economic self-determination and nation-building.
The latest from CellCore Technologies and our partners.
We see domestic manufacturing for critical industries not just as a business opportunity, but as an act of nation-building.
As a Canadian Indigenous-owned company, CellCore is built on values of stewardship, strength, resilience, and long-term thinking. We are committed to responsible manufacturing that respects the environment, builds up communities, and contributes to Canada’s economy in a meaningful way.
Whether you are a potential partner, government stakeholder, or industry collaborator, we would be glad to hear from you.
