The first half of 2022 has been successful for Flora Growth (NASDAQ: FLGC). At the beginning of the year, the company’s management noted how the cannabis sector was ripe for the picking. They noted how great brands and cost advantages are optimal traits for the company’s long-term market leadership and return on investment (“ROI”), emphasizing the opportunities ahead (https://ibn.fm/YlHId).
Flora Growth has since partnered with Highsman, a cannabis lifestyle brand built on an appreciation for greatness, founded by former NFL running back Ricky Williams. The collaboration seeks to elevate Highsman and Flora’s cannabis accessories brand, Vessel, (https://ibn.fm/FmwMg).
While announcing the collaboration, James Choe, Flora Growth Chief Strategy Officer (“CSO”) and President of Vessel noted that “Ricky’s story personifies the authenticity and individuality that exists at the core of Vessel, and this collaboration is a true representation of the freedom to be original.”
Following the announcement of the Ricky Williams collaboration, flora announced the acquisition of CBD Brand Masaya. Flora entered into an agreement with Dr. Annabelle Manalo-Morgan, a leading cell biologist, to acquire her brand, along with its patent-pending CBD formulations, which are made up of potent CBD oil and are 100% THC-free (https://ibn.fm/cO4uF).
Upon acquisition, Masaya became an owned Flora brand sold in the United States and the first offering from Flora Life Sciences. It is also projected that the patent-pending formulation, Masaya Pure, will be used in Flora’s current clinical trials with the University of Manchester in the UK. The doctor now serves on Flora’s Board of Directors as the company’s Scientific Advisor. She is also responsible for leading Flora’s global research initiatives, including the ongoing clinical trial on the use of cannabinoids with patients with fibromyalgia.
“We are excited to announce the acquisition of Masaya. The brand’s formulation was developed by Dr. Annabelle for her son and has since been used by thousands of consumers,” noted Luis Merchan, Flora’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).
“This acquisition allows us to deliver on our promise to invest in safe, thorough, cutting-edge scientific research that can bring meaningful change via an efficacious and accessible product offering for the people worldwide,” he added.
At the close of May, Flora announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, JustCBD, would be launching its line of Novel Foods registered CBD products on Amazon.co.uk. Set to launch on the e-commerce store in June 2022, this move would see customers in the UK access JustCBD’s best-selling gummies and tinctures (https://ibn.fm/goRlL).
This launch marked a significant step in Flora’s operations expansion in Europe. In addition, it showed the company’s commitment to delivering quality cannabis-related products to customers aiming to improve their health and wellness.
“With health and wellness playing an increasingly important role in customers’ lives, we are excited to increase the selection of quality CBD products offered to Amazon customers in the UK,” noted Hussein Rakine, JustCBD’s CEO.
“The JustCBD team looks forward to working closely with Amazon to expand our product offering to other countries as our partnership and brand presence in the United Kingdom grows,” he added.
Going into the second half of the 2022 calendar year, Flora Growth seeks to aggressively pursue the goals set at the beginning of the year, further expanding its market reach and growing its product line and customer numbers.
