Matthew Erickson
Matthew Erickson is a co-founder at Evolved Extraction Solutions, where he partners with cannabis manufacturers to optimize extraction operations and improve efficiency. His experience in the cannabis industry spans more than two decades, beginning in 2002 under Canada’s early medical cannabis framework. Matthew started by cultivating for patients, developing a deep, hands-on understanding of quality, consistency, and plant science. As the industry evolved through legalization, he transitioned into extraction, playing an active role in supporting producers through the shift to regulated, large-scale manufacturing from 2015 onward.
How Cannabis Manufacturers Can Fix Throughput Bottlenecks
Cannabis manufacturers often respond to sluggish throughput by investing in faster extraction equipment. But the true constraint may lie in solvent recovery, chilling capacity, facility layout, or operator workflow. Identifying and removing the actual bottleneck can improve cannabinoid recovery, increase production capacity, and provide the operational certainty customers, lenders, and investors expect.
