MOU also lays groundwork for Nuuvera's charitable efforts in the province
TORONTO, Jan. 12, 2018 /CNW/ - Today Nuuvera Inc. ("Nuuvera")
(TSXV:NUU) announced that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with the Province of New Brunswick to supply 2.5 million grams of cannabis and related products for the province's cannabis
market.
The MOU sets the groundwork for Nuuvera to supply high-quality cannabis oil and flower to the province, beginning in
July 2018. Included in the agreement is Nuuvera's commitment to donate two-percent of the gross
value of cannabis products sold to the government to the Cannabis Education and Awareness Fund.
Lorne Abony, CEO of Nuuvera, said that the agreement signals Nuuvera's growing participation in
Canada's cannabis industry.
"We are pleased to finalize this important MOU with New Brunswick", said Abony. "Not only is
it the result of productive and open negotiations, but it is an endorsement of the way Nuuvera operates and what we stand for. We
will keep working with the Government of New Brunswick, and governments across Canada, to help create a safe, high-quality industry that meets the needs of all cannabis consumers."
In addition to the MOU, Nuuvera also announced this week that it would establish a state-of-the-art laboratory in Saint John that will process, manufacture and distribute pharmaceutical-grade medical marijuana derivative
products. This will be Nuuvera's second such facility in Canada and will create new, skilled
jobs for the city.
"With offices in Toronto, Tel Aviv, Hamburg, and Milan, we are positioned to serve diversified international
markets with medical grade cannabis products, and our New Brunswick operations will form a
critical piece of our research and development efforts that will keep us on the leading edge of product innovation," said
Abony.
