PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENTS OLYMEL - New Contract We are pleased to announce a new contract with Olymel effective March 1, 2019.

On top of the monthly market pricing changes, there is a 2.9% increase for Compass on OBP branded products. The increase is due to fixed cost, such as, labour, packaging & overhead being held for the past 3 years.

Olymel brand products are recognized and appreciated by consumers across Canada.
