TORONTO, January 13, 2020 (Newswire.com) - ​​​Toronto-based cannabis company Olli Brands Inc., (“Olli Brands”, “Olli”, or “the Company”) has received its Standard Processing Licence from Health Canada under the Cannabis Regulations. This achievement allows the Company to commence production of Olli branded cannabis-infused products and Olli Brands’ associated private label partner products at the company’s state-of-the-art Etobicoke based manufacturing facility in preparation for market launch in the coming months.

“Receiving our Standard Processing Licence is a huge milestone for Olli Brands and the culmination of years of hard work by our team,” said John Aird, Co-Founder and CEO of Olli Brands Inc. “We are thrilled to be able to begin production as we await our Sales Licence and are already executing on a number of exciting strategic initiatives that will continue to position Olli Brands as the premier independent cannabis-infused producer in Canada.”

We are very excited to be on the verge today of realizing that dream.” 

Olli Brands’ 11,200-square-foot facility has been constructed to meet the Good Production Practice (GPP) and physical security requirements set out by Health Canada under the Cannabis Regulations. Under Olli Brands’ Research Licence (received July 2019) the Company’s facility has been participating in ongoing product research and development prior to market launch to ensure a consistent, high-quality and delicious suite of cannabis derivative products.
