Investment in company's go-forward growth strategy supports evolution into diversified health and wellness company
BevCanna Enterprises Inc. ( CSE:BEV , Q:BVNNF , FSE:7BC ) ("BevCanna" or the "Company"), an emerging leader in innovative health and wellness beverages and products, has engaged international investor relations specialists MZ Group ("MZ") to lead a comprehensive strategic investor relations and financial communications program across all key markets. The partnership with MZ represents an investment in the Company's go-forward growth strategy as BevCanna rapidly accelerates their evolution into a diversified health and wellness company. This evolution includes the recently announced definitive agreement to acquire Embark Health, a leader in solventless cannabis extraction and enhanced delivery technology. Upon closing of the acquisition, two highly complementary businesses will combine to create an innovative health and wellness company.
MZ will work closely with BevCanna management to develop and implement a comprehensive capital markets strategy designed to increase the Company's visibility throughout the investment community. The campaign will highlight BevCanna's unique brand creation for the global health, wellness, and natural products markets by developing and manufacturing a range of alkaline, plant-based, and cannabinoid beverages and supplements for both in-house brands and white-label clients.
MZ has developed a distinguished reputation as a premier resource for institutional investors, brokers, analysts, and private investors. The firm maintains offices worldwide and was recently ranked No. 7 in the world in business communication.
Shannon Devine, Managing Director at MZ North America, will advise BevCanna in all facets of corporate and financial communications, including the coordination of roadshows and investment conferences across key cities and building brand awareness with financial media outlets.
"Cannabis is an emerging leader within the overall $4.5 trillion wellness market, with the product market projected to reach $90.4 billion by 2026, according to MarketsandMarkets," commented Ted Haberfield, Chairman & President of MZ Group North America. "BevCanna leverages proprietary and patented technology to produce premium tasting, water-soluble cannabinoid infusions using THC and CBD from both cannabis and hemp. The Company's expertise, world-class infrastructure and proven technology enables the development and launch of premium, innovative, cannabis infused beverages that cater to the next generation of cannabis consumer.
"BevCanna's leadership includes industry-leading CPG, beverage, and nutraceuticals experts with decades of experience creating, branding, and manufacturing iconic brands that resonate with consumers on a global scale. Its focus is on building revenue through multiple streams, including white labeling, joint ventures, licensing, brand building, and B2B ingredient supply. We believe the Company's unique market position and growth prospect presents a unique opportunity for investors and look forward to sharing this with our network of institutional investors and family offices."
"As the Company's efforts are focused on growth, BevCanna is supporting the expansion of in-house brands and white labeled products with a pristine alkaline spring water aquifer and world–class 40,000–square–foot, HACCP certified manufacturing facility," added Shannon Devine. "This facility is already positioned for growth with a pre-approval to expand the facility up to 170,000-square-feet, to be used for expansion for both CPG and cannabis purposes. The facility has a current bottling capacity of up to 210M bottles annually. BevCanna has a proven growth strategy and a strong foundation to support sustained growth. To complement the Company's organic growth, BevCanna has a significant acquisition pipeline aimed at adding complementary, innovative products to their current offerings, similar to prior acquisitions."
"2021 was an important inflection point for BevCanna, with the distribution expansion of our in-house brands and multiple white-label co-manufacturing contracts from leading beverage brands," said John Campbell, CFO and CSO of BevCanna. "Our scalable and flexible manufacturing process delivers solutions that allow for the production of a diverse array of beverages, flavors and infusions, with innovative end to end turnkey bottling solutions."
"The partnership with MZ represents the Company's investment in one of our most important constituents, our shareholders, as we continue to grow through our large pipeline of potential acquisitions and strategic partnership opportunities. We look forward to working with the entire team at MZ Group to communicate the multiple avenues that will drive sustained growth and build long-term value for our shareholders."
