MediPharm Labs Maintains Largest Cannabis Extraction-Only Footprint in Canada

TORONTO, Dec. 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MediPharm Labs Corp. (TSXV: LABS) (the “*Company*” or “*MediPharm Labs*”) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, MediPharm Labs Inc. (“*MediPharm*”),  has received approval from Health Canada to increase its current annual production capacity to process up to 150,000KG of dried cannabis, over five extraction lines, up from its standing processing capacity of up to 100,000KG over three extraction lines. The increase reflects the addition of a newly constructed extraction clean room, with new highly specialized and calibrated equipment, including two new extraction lines, that could produce up to 6,500KG of cannabis resin on an annual basis, the equivalent of approximately 9.7 million vape pens. With this expansion, MediPharm maintains its specialized leadership position with the largest extraction-only footprint in Canada, utilizing ISO designed clean rooms and critical environment laboratories, and proprietary methodologies.“We are executing on our vision of global leadership in the extraction of purified cannabis concentrates, adding scale to our first-mover advantage in expertise and leadership,” said Pat McCutcheon, President and CEO of MediPharm Labs. “As we work towards completing our Phase 2 expansion, we are focused on the execution of our differentiated extraction-only business model that prioritizes the production of pharmaceutical-grade cannabis concentrates and isolates qualified for domestic distribution and, more importantly, large global scale distribution.” 

As MediPharm continues to receive key regulatory approvals to increase its production capacity, the Company is making progress on its Phase 2 expansion plans that will see its annual production extraction capacity increase to upwards of 250,000KG of dried cannabis and is expected to be completed by Q2 2019.  

Mr. McCutcheon concluded, “As we continue to invest in our growth, the timing couldn’t be better for our two new extraction lines to come onstream with Health Canada’s recent proposed regulations for expanded cannabis products, all of which are concentrate-based. 2019 will be a year focused on extraction in the cannabis industry and we are positioned to service the demand for active ingredient needed to produce beverages, edibles, vapables and topicals, all of which represent the fastest growing segments in the cannabis market.” 

Pete Patterson, COO & Co-Founder, Vitalis Extraction Technology, commented on MediPharm’s latest production expansion capacity and acquisition of new Vitalis Extraction Equipment, “We are very impressed to see the rate at which MediPharm has been able to scale and execute on their plans. They  are setup to tackle some massive processing contracts that will help the Canadian markets meet the upcoming demand for concentrates.”
