Innovation

From soil to oil, and from lab to shelf.

At Whistler Technologies, innovation is at our core.

With daily exposure to all aspects of the industry, a holistic approach is taken when designing new systems or optimizing existing ones. 

We have refined and automated the outdated and highly labour-intensive process of making bubble hash by engineering the world’s first closed-loop and continuous flow solventless extraction system.
