DENVER, June 6, 2019 /CNW/ – Dixie Brands Inc. (“Dixie” or “the Company”) (CSE: DIXI.U), (OTC: DXBRF), (Frankfurt: 0QV), one of the cannabis industry’s leading consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) companies, today announced that its Aceso Hemp subsidiary has signed a distribution agreement with Alaska’s Bill’s Distributing (“Bill’s”). Pursuant to the agreement, Bill’s will begin marketing Aceso’s line of cannabidiol (CBD)-infused powder sachets, tincture sprays and dissolvable tablets to its retail customers starting next week.
Bill’s is one of the largest Alaskan-owned food and beverage wholesalers and distributors. Founded over 30 years ago and still family-owned, Bill’s reaches more than 1,100 accounts including both local and national retailers throughout the state.
“We are very pleased to welcome Bill’s as our distribution partner in Alaska. With their extensive network and reputation in the state, they will be excellent ambassadors for Aceso products,” said Hilal Tabsh, Vice President of Marketing and Distribution at Aceso. “We expect this to be the first of several new distribution agreements we finalize in the coming months, based on our ongoing discussions with a range of prospective partners throughout the USA.”
“We pride ourselves on bringing new and innovative products to our customers in Alaska, and Aceso Hemp is the first CBD line we have added to our catalogue,” said Mike Webster, General Manager, Bill’s Distributing. “We have had an opportunity to evaluate a number of CBD products, and we believe Aceso is a great choice because it offers consumers a unique range of delivery options to enjoy the calming, soothing or wellness benefits of CBD.”
Dixie’s top strategic priority for both Aceso and the Company’s pet wellness subsidiary, Therabis LLC, is to expand the distribution channels. For its two CBD brands combined, Dixie is targeting availability in a total of 5,000 brick and mortar locations by the end of 2019.
As a hemp-based consumer products company, Aceso is subject to a different regulatory framework than Dixie’s THC-infused brands. Mainstream retailers are becoming increasingly open to carrying CBD-infused products, with some moving into this market more quickly than others. Aceso is seeking to build a network of local, regional and national distributors to complement its online channel, www.myaceso.com.
