VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 11, 2021 / Experion Holdings Ltd. (the “Corporation” or “Experion“) (TSXV:EXP)(OTCQB:EXPFF)(FRANKFURT:MB31) Canada’s solution to craft cannabis supply and builder of premium cannabis brands including its sought after and popular brand Citizen Stash, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a custom pre-roll manufacturing agreement with The Valens Company (VLNS) (VLNCF) (the “Company,” “The Valens Company” or “Valens”), a leading manufacturer of cannabis products.
Under the agreement, Valens will provide end-to-end pre-roll manufacturing services which supports both the growth and product distribution of Experion’s premium cannabis offerings. This is Valens’ first custom manufacturing agreement of this nature following the receipt of its Health Canada licence amendment to sell dried cannabis products. In partnership, Valens and Experion will help expand Experion’s already popular Citizen Stash pre-rolls, as demand continues to grow nationally for the brand’s premium cannabis products.
“We are pleased to work with Valens as this partnership will allow Experion to expand production to facilitate broader consumer access to our award-winning Citizen Stash products,” stated Jarrett Malnarich, Chief Executive Officer of Experion Holdings. “Partnering with an industry leader such as Valens allows us to immediately multiply our capacity and positions us to quickly develop next generation product lines. We believe this relationship demonstrates to the market that we are laser-focused on driving revenue by expanding our capacity to deliver premium cannabis products across Canada.”
“We are excited to kick off our pre-roll manufacturing services with the commencement of our agreement with Experion for their Citizen Stash premium pre-rolls, which will expedite the entry of Valens-manufactured dried cannabis products into the Canadian market,” said Tyler Robson, Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder and Chair of The Valens Company. “Citizen Stash is synonymous with best-in-class products and we are proud to be chosen as a partner who can deliver on customized and premium quality products for the brand.”
The terms of the agreement support a minimum two-year partnership with monthly minimum order quantities. Valens and Experion are in continued discussions to expand the existing agreement to include additional product development and custom manufacturing services for a range of next generation products beyond the pre-roll partnership and gummies, which are currently being manufactured at the LYF facility owned by Valens. There is, however, no assurance that any such deal would be reached.
