"I want to thank the City of Commerce for granting us approval to commence operations at what we believe to be one of the largest, most efficient processing facilities in the world," said 4Front CEO Leo Gontmakher . "The manufacturing scale of our Facility is first of its kind, and the response we've seen during our pre-commercial sales has been tremendous.

This Facility, along with our previously announced acquisition of NECC, completes the infrastructure needed to fuel our growth expectations as we look forward to 2022. With disciplined execution, enhanced production capabilities and innovation, we are anticipating a strong finish to the year, and with these pieces in place, have established a great foundation for a robust 2022.
