Ascent Industries (CSE:ASNT) (“Ascent” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Agrima Botanicals, the Company has entered into a supply agreement with the Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation, operating as the Ontario Cannabis Store (“OCS”), to supply branded cannabis products to the adult-use market in the Province of Ontario.
Ascent Industries (CSE:ASNT) (“Ascent” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Agrima Botanicals, the Company has entered into a supply agreement with the Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation, operating as the Ontario Cannabis Store (“OCS”), to supply branded cannabis products to the adult-use market in the Province of Ontario.
Under the terms of the agreement, Ascent will initially supply cannabis products for the OCS’s online sales network, and will later supply Ontario’s private retailers, once the Province implements an approved framework.
In addition, Ascent recently signed an initial small-scale supply agreement with the British Columbia Liquor Distribution Branch. Ascent continues to be engaged in advanced discussions with other provincial liquor boards and emerging private retail operators.
Philip Campbell, CEO of Ascent, noted “As legalization approaches in Canada, Ascent is pleased to have been chosen as a supplier to the provincial distribution bodies in two of Canada’s largest markets. We look forward to introducing consumers to our adult-use products and continuing to expand our relationships with these two important purchasers.”
