Get In TouchWho We Are
Hydrocarbon & Botanical Extraction Consulting Worldwide
Matthew Ellis has spent 17 years at the frontier of extraction technology. He co-founded Colorado's first licensed Manufacturer of Infused Products, built industry-leading hydrocarbon extraction systems, and helped set the safety standards the industry still follows today. BOEXCO exists to put that experience to work for you.
We bring that same hands-on expertise to clients around the world. Whether you are building your first extraction facility or scaling an existing operation, we bring the kind of real-world knowledge that only comes from having built this industry from the ground up.
Why BOEXCO
The Difference Is Experience
01
We Built This Industry
We were there at the beginning, setting the safety standards and engineering benchmarks that the hydrocarbon extraction industry still follows today.
02
Real World Knowledge
We have personally designed, built, and operated extraction systems from 5 lbs to 500 lbs. We know what works because we built it.
03
Global Reach
We have worked in 15 countries across South America, Canada, the EU, Dubai, and South Africa. We understand international extraction regulations and logistics.
What We Do
Full Spectrum Extraction Consulting Services
From concept to full operation, we cover every phase of your hydrocarbon or botanical extraction project.
01
Extraction Facility Design
Hydrocarbon extraction facility design is the discipline of planning a compliant, safe, and operationally efficient extraction environment before equipment selection begins. We apply the BOEXCO Facility Planning Framework to design C1D1 compliant hydrocarbon extraction facilities built for long-term operational efficiency. Learn why most facility designs fail before equipment ever arrives.
02
Equipment Specification & Project Management
We specify the right hydrocarbon, ethanol, DME or CO2 extraction equipment for your operation, scale, and budget. No guesswork, no overselling. We manage your extraction project from blank page to full operation, coordinating engineers, contractors, regulators, and equipment suppliers worldwide.
03
Regulatory Compliance
We understand local codes and international standards including C1D1 classifications, CRN certification in Canada, and the EU pressure directive. Read our post on the difference between compliant and safe.
04
Global Extraction Projects
We have managed large-scale extraction projects across 15 countries. We understand the regulatory, logistical, and technical challenges of building in international markets.
05
Legacy Parts Sourcing
With one of the deepest networks in the extraction equipment industry, we source hard-to-find components for systems that manufacturers no longer support.
06
GMP Consulting — URS, IQ/OQ/PQ, EU GMP & CGMP
For pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and regulated food markets. We handle URS development, DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ qualification, EU GMP and CGMP compliance, plus Legacy Equipment GMP Certification for existing systems. Learn more about our GMP services. Read our blog post on what GMP actually means.

The Founder
Matthew Ellis
Founder & Principal Consultant
I've spent my career building businesses at the frontier of extraction technology. In 2008, my fascination with cannabis extraction led me to co-found Organa Labs, Colorado's first licensed Manufacturer of Infused Products. There, I pioneered CO2 extraction techniques, trained operators, and worked directly with Eden Labs to develop innovations that became the foundation of their High Flow System.
I then co-founded ExtractionTek Solutions, which grew into Colorado's premier manufacturer of professional-grade hydrocarbon extraction systems. After a legal dispute ended that chapter, I founded BOEXCO to bring my expertise directly to operators and investors worldwide.
I've built machines that process 5 pounds and machines that process 500 pounds. I know this industry because I built it from the ground up.
