Commencing in May 2019, Aphria will provide Emblem with a mix of dried flower and crude cannabis oil to be processed at Emblem’s Paris, Ontario facility. Emblem’s team will work with Aphria’s cultivation team to grow Emblem’s proprietary strains at Aphria’s Leamington, Ontario greenhouse.
“Emblem’s supply agreement with Aphria marks a critical point in our evolution. It allows Emblem to remain focused on strengthening our core competencies of product innovation, brand building and securing distribution,” said Nick Dean, CEO, Emblem Corp. “Aphria’s support solidifies Emblem’s dedication to become a leading producer of cannabis-derived products in the health and wellness space.”
Emblem will continue to innovate and develop new, exciting products for Canada’s cannabis patients and consumers including capsules, new oral sprays that are expected to be released to the market later this month, a sustained release formulation in partnership with Canntab, and a health and beauty line with GreenSpace Brands. The Company’s Paris, Ontario facility will continue to produce approximately 2,000 kg of high-quality indoor dried flower annually. The facility’s 30,000 sq. ft. addition featuring a 5,000 sq. ft. GMP laboratory, that is nearing completion, will further support product innovation and enable Emblem to pursue international export opportunities.
