TORONTO, July 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WeedMD Inc. (TSX-V:WMD) (OTCQX:WDDMF) (FSE:4WE) (“WeedMD” or the “Company”), a federally-licensed producer and distributor of medical-grade cannabis, is pleased to announce it has launched CX Industries Inc. (“CX Industries” or “CX”), a wholly-owned subsidiary that will specialize in extraction, toll processing and third-party product formulation from WeedMD’s fully-licensed Aylmer, Ontario facility. CX Industries will have the capacity to process more than 200,000 kgs of biomass at its peak production in 2020.

“The launch of CX Industries represents the next step in the evolution of WeedMD. The marriage of consistent low-cost input material from our cultivation platform with our fully-licensed extraction hub in Aylmer truly sets us apart.  Our management team is now working with strategic partners to provide a platform for entrepreneurs and seasoned brands to enter the concentrates market, building on our history of collaborating successfully with our peers in the cannabis industry,” said Keith Merker, CEO of WeedMD. “We have a solid reputation for executing on our production platforms – rooted in our integrity and transparency, combined with our ability to scale.  CX offers world-class extraction and end-to-end production solutions as the market readies for the launch of extracts later this year.”

The Company recently announced the transition of its Aylmer, Ontario facility, now CX Industries, into a large-scale cannabis extraction and processing hub. Together with its greenhouse cultivation and outdoor grow that is in full operation at its Strathroy facility, WeedMD is producing significant low-cost biomass input for extraction. Read more here.
