Pure Global Signs Transformational Agreement with KMT-Hansa Corp. for Large Scale Hemp Manufacturing in China
Pure Global Cannabis Inc. is pleased to announce the signing of a Joint Development Agreement with KMT-Hansa Corp.
Pure Global Cannabis Inc. (TSXV:PURE, OTC:PRCNF, FRA:1QS) (“Pure Global”), an integrated growth-oriented sciences and consumer products cannabis company, operating through its wholly-owned subsidiary PureSinse Inc. (“PureSinse” or “Company” or “Pure”), is pleased to announce the signing of a Joint Development Agreement (the “Agreement”) with KMT-Hansa Corp. (NEX: KMC-H) (“KMT”) in respect of the processing, extraction, cultivation and manufacturing of hemp and related products across approximately 17,000 acres of land in the province of Yunnan (the “Project”). The Agreement will take advantage of the Hemp International Industry Park Special Economic Zone License granted to KMT by Yuanjiang County, Yuxi City, Yunnan Province, permitting the growth, cultivation, extraction and production of industrial hemp products for export. The license registration process is expected to complete within the next 60 days while operations are setup.
Pure Global will be the management and development partner in connection with the Project, with KMT providing the necessary resources and personnel. Pure Global will be responsible for the technology, know how, genetics and sales and distribution of hemp products produced in connection with the Project. The Company will design Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”) compliant facilities and manage the development and deployment of the Project while overseeing the ongoing operations for the manufacturing and cultivation of high-quality hemp products and by-products, including cannabidiol (“CBD”). Pure will have the right of first refusal to sell and distribute all manufactured products and by-products in all international jurisdictions.
KMT will be responsible for securing and maintaining all necessary permits and licenses with the Chinese Government and Authorities to grow, extract, process and export CBD and hemp by-products grown on the lands that have been government sanctioned for the region’s economic development.
Pure Global’s CEO & President Malay Panchal commented, “We are extremely excited to be the first Canadian LP to partner with a Chinese group seeking to develop a project of this scale in China. This strategic relationship gives us access to KMT’s resources and connections in China. They truly share our goal of providing high-quality products that are sustainable to the environment and developed using cutting-edge agricultural methods. We are extremely happy to enter into this Agreement with a trusted partner who shares our values, visions, and long-term goals. I was especially thrilled by the warm welcome we received from the Chinese local, state, and federal authorities on our recent visit and the tremendous support they are willing to offer to make this project a success for all stakeholders.”
Both KMT and Pure Global value scaled production and manufacturing methods that are eco-friendly, produce the highest quality bulk CBD, and finished health and wellness products. The Agreement will be the first step towards the two like-minded organizations entering into a larger scale international production agreement. The companies intend to move quickly to commence operations and service the fast-growing consumer demand for CBD isolate and finished products throughout Asia and over 50 international markets that have legalized CBD.
Mr. Panchal further commented, “We are entering a very exciting chapter in Pure Global’s journey. In addition to this joint venture with KMT, we have recently been granted our Health Canada oils sales license, are close to approvals to commence scaled cultivation and extraction at our Brampton facility, will soon be launching several new premium consumer brands, and have other formative developments to be announced in the near future. Together these will accelerate Pure to becoming a global leader in the cannabis sector.”
