Cold Plasma Group

What Cold Plasma Group does

Cold Plasma Group Inc. is a privately held Canadian corporation co-founded in early 2019 by Dr. Florina Truica (Chief Technology Officer) and David O. Johnson (President), headquartered at 310 Bagot Street, Kingston, Ontario. The company develops and commercializes a proprietary low-pressure cold plasma (LPCP) platform for microbial remediation of plant material — a physics-based, vacuum-chamber process that produces reactive species to damage microbial membranes and DNA while preserving heat- and radiation-sensitive product qualities. Its core product line comprises EU-GMP and GPP suitable smart plasma sterilizers (the one-door CP390-6L and two-door CP390-6-TD systems) featuring automated self-cleaning, touch-panel control, and real-time process monitoring, plus the Plasmina seed enhancement system for the agriculture sector.

The company targets four verticals: cannabis (licensed producers requiring EU-GMP compliant microbial remediation without cannabinoid/terpene loss), agriculture (seed germination, drought resilience, shelf life extension), medical devices (heat- and radiation-free sterilization of single-use plastics), and food processing (chemical-free sterilization of food products and packaging). The founder's original concept was specifically tailored to the microbial remediation of cannabis flower; the technology is covered by U.S. Patent No. 12,383,641 (granted August 2025) with corresponding filings pending in Canada, the EU, and other jurisdictions.

Cold Plasma Group generates revenue through a mixed model: turnkey hardware sales of plasma machines, recurring professional services (purchase planning, facility layout, training, SOP development, ongoing technical support), licensing/royalty arrangements for regional deployment, and managed regional sterilization services operated via joint ventures. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales (Canada, U.S., and EU) with channel partnerships — most notably the exclusive licensing arrangement with GOC-NEXUS Europe GmbH for EU-GMP certified processing hubs, and a co-development and production partnership with Plasma Technology GmbH for manufacturing scale-up. Government non-dilutive funding has come from NSERC Engage, NRC IRAP, FedDev Ontario, BIN Canada, and OCI; the company is currently raising a new equity round to accelerate its marketing push across Canada, Europe, and the United States.
