Peace Naturals Awarded GMP Certification Fortifying Global Distribution

T.CRON

Canada NewsWire

TORONTO, May 2, 2017 /CNW/ - Cronos Group Inc. (TSXV:MJN) ("Cronos" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that following a comprehensive audit, the Company's wholly owned licensed producer ("LP"), the Peace Naturals Project Inc. ("Peace"), has been issued a Good Manufacturing Practice ("GMP") certification in accordance with the rules governing medicinal products in the European Union. This GMP certification enables Peace to distribute medical cannabis across the European Union as additional markets come on-line.

The comprehensive GMP review was conducted by German regulators and health inspectors from the European Union and included the ­­additional certification of Peace's newest purpose-built production infrastructure. The European GMP certification is one of the highest standards a pharmaceutical manufacturer can meet for medicinal products, and indicates an adherence to detailed guidelines that extend well beyond the current Health Canada requirements for ACMPR licensed producers.

"This is an incredible milestone that further differentiates Peace as an industry leader focused on setting the international gold standard. As a GMP certified LP, Peace is uniquely situated to capitalize on our first mover advantage and reaffirm our position as a leader in the space by extending our global distribution network.  Two continents down, four to go," said Mike Gorenstein, Chief Executive Officer of Cronos.
