Innovation & Development
Innovation and development are subjects that reside at the core of Embrun Co-op’s mission. “Innovate to proudly keep offering the best.”
The intent behind our commitment to innovation and development is to improve our actions in current business areas, create new opportunities, and aid in the sustainable development of our various industries and the community.
We do so by keeping abreast of industry trends and new technological advancements.
In recent years our move towards innovation and development has led to the realisation of several projects. These projects, products, and services are highlighted below.
