Aleafia Cannabis Complements CannTrust’s Supply for growing Adult-use, Medical Sales
TORONTO, Jan. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aleafia Health Inc. (TSXV: ALEF, OTC: ALEAF, FRA: ARAH) (“Aleafia” or the “Company”) has sold two cannabis crops to CannTrust Holdings Inc. (TSX: TRST)(“CannTrust”), together (the “Parties”), representing the first transactions under the Parties’ previously announced 15,000 kg cannabis supply agreement for 2019.
The two crops purchased by CannTrust were harvested at Aleafia’s indoor Port Perry cultivation facility. They will supplement CannTrust’s offering of high-quality cannabis for its growing medical patient base, which now includes more than 58,000 registered customers, and CannTrust’s four recreational brands: liiv, Synr.g, Xscape and Peak Leaf.
“CannTrust continues to grow its medical patient base and is experiencing high demand for its recreational brands,” said CannTrust CEO Peter Aceto. “We are pleased to continue working with Aleafia to help meet ever increasing customer demand across our suite of products in both the medical and recreational markets.”
Aleafia expects to significantly increase its cannabis production capacity over the course of 2019. The Company recently completed Phase I construction of its Niagara Greenhouse facility, bringing it to a grow-ready state, pending Health Canada approval.
Aleafia will have multiple avenues to distribute the cannabis produced at its Niagara and Port Perry facilities, including leveraging the 15,000 kg supply agreement for 2019 with CannTrust.
“The continued strategic agreement between Aleafia and CannTrust has provided measurable benefit to both companies, allowing Aleafia to rapidly accelerate the execution of its business plan,” said Aleafia CEO Geoffrey Benic. “Given CannTrust’s well established record as a top Canadian Licensed Producer, these transactions represent a significant validation of our cannabis cultivation operations. We look forward to increasing our cannabis cultivation output and to strengthen the relationship with CannTrust and our growing distribution network.”
