Peak Processing Solutions (‘Peak’) of Tecumseh, Ontario, a wholly owned subsidiary of Australian pharmaceutical company Althea Group Holdings Limited (ASX:AGH) (‘Althea’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce that the company has formally submitted its evidence package to Health Canada, the final step in the application process for its cannabis processors licence.
Peak is well positioned as of one of the industry’s first large-scale processing facilities, the company’s entire 40,000 sq. ft. space is dedicated to the manufacturing and distribution of ‘cannabis 2.0’ products (i.e. cannabis-infused beverages, edibles, concentrates, topicals products). While dried flower products are experiencing price compression in the Canadian market, due to supply exceeding demand, the selection of in-demand cannabis 2.0 products is limited across most categories. Peak will play a vital role in facilitating the commercialization of these higher-margin 2.0 products.
“The submission of the evidence package is an exciting milestone in the Peak journey, we have completed construction of a world-class facility and are eager to put it to use,” said Peak President and FounderGregg Battersby, “Our highly capable leadership team, combine with our unique production capabilities, will position us as the leading supplier to the rapidly growing cannabis derivatives market in Canada.”
Through leveraging Peak’s Health Canada license, the company will offer a unique opportunity for CGP companies, and other non-licensed entities, including beverage alcohol companies, to compete and launch products into the Canadian cannabis market. Peak also provides clients with a range of professional services in conjunction with manufacturing, including product formulation, regulatory affairs, warehousing and distribution.
