Strategic Partners
CellCore Technologies is building Canada’s first Indigenous-owned nitrocellulose and energetics production facility, delivering sovereign manufacturing capacity for Canada and its allies.
CellCore Technologies Inc. is Canada’s first and only Indigenous-owned nitrocellulose and energetics 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 to develop novel biomass inputs
Canadian-owned domestic production for Canada and its NATO allies.
Modern closed-loop environmentally responsible manufacturing.
Indigenous-led and owned business with meaningful indigenous partnerships.
CellCore’s production facility is the flagship operation at the new Defence Manufacturing Hub in Saskatchewan, developed in partnership with Des Nëdhë 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 Q4 2026, with CellCore’s first offtake production targeted for Q1 2029.
Nitrocellulose is an essential base input across a wide variety of energetics and is a key input for many industrial applications. CellCore will produce both nitrocellulose and other in-demand energetic products.
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, reliable access to nitrocellulose and energetics to improve industrial resilience for defence and other key 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.
Indigenous-led and owned with meaningful indigenous partnerships creates opportunity for jobs, growth and a new economy.
