With the high margins this sector is experiencing, the Company is well positioned to take advantage of the growing demand. Along with leveraging its advanced manufacturing capabilities for white or private label services, the Company is also introducing its own branded products in targeted legal adult and health & beauty consumer segments including PureSinse® Wellness, Paper&Weed Pre-rolls, Kumo Edibles, Galaxy Premium Cannabis, and The Great Canadian Hemp Co®. Receiving these cultivation and processing approvals enables the Company to begin bulk distillate sales and offering co-manufacturing services through its recently launched B2B brand, PureCanna Solutions. The Company is currently installing large scale biomass extraction equipment, with CO2 extraction capabilities already in place. PureCanna is poised to begin the sales of bulk concentrates, branded and white-label medical, recreational and wellness products as well as co-manufacturing and tolling services almost immediately. Pure Global CEO & President, Malay Panchal said, “Receiving our phase 2 approvals from Health Canada is a significant achievement as it enables us to commence our own cultivation and extraction for our branded and B2B sales.
