VANCOUVER, May 28, 2018 /CNW/ - Namaste Technologies Inc.
("Namaste" or the "Company") (TSXV: N)(FRANKFURT: M5BQ)(OTCMKTS: NXTTF) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed an
exclusive international distribution agreement (the "Agreement") with Shatterizer Inc. ("Shatterizer" or "Shatterizer.com"),
whereby Namaste will retain exclusive rights to sell Shatterizer's innovative line of cannabis concentrate vaporizers in
international markets. Namaste is also pleased to announce that the Company will be working with Shatterizer to launch a
pod-based vaporizer system for the Canadian recreational market. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Infinite Labz
Inc. ("Infinite Labz"), will produce cannabis oil and provide filling and distribution for Shatterizer's upcoming pod-based
concentrate vaporizer system. Namaste is focused on leveraging its expertise in vaporizer technology within Canada, in an attempt to capitalize on what it anticipates being a significant market for concentrate pens
and pre-filled cartridges in both the recreational and medical cannabis markets.
The Shatterizer vaporizer is designed for use with cannabis concentrates and extracts. The demand for high-potency cannabis
concentrates has grown exponentially in the US and both Namaste and Shatterizer recognize the opportunity in the Canadian
recreational and medical markets. The Shatterizer is engineered to produce a remarkably smooth draw, releasing the fullest flavor
through the globe-shaped aluminum atomizer and mouthpiece so that users can enjoy the full-flavored taste of their concentrates.
Since its trial launch on Namaste's Canadian sites, the Shatterizer has received a 4.9/5 star consumer review score and has
proven itself to be very popular with Namaste's customers.
Terms of the Agreement:
- Namaste will retain exclusive rights to sell Shatterizer products in international markets.
- Namaste will offer Shatterizer products across its entire platform and stock inventory in its international
warehouses.
- Namaste will adhere to all minimum advertised prices (MAP) set forth by Shatterizer.
- Shatterizer will provide Namaste's customer service and sales team with training information and support.
- Shatterizer will provide warranty support for Namaste's customers in domestic and international markets.
Namaste anticipates an accelerated demand for cannabis oils and pre-filled cartridges and intends to use its hardware
expertise to produce specifically formulated cannabis oil for pod-based vaporizer systems through Infinite Labz. Pre-filled
cartridges and pods provide a very simple, discrete and effective means for consuming cannabis oils and extracts. Being the
largest international online retailer of vaporizers, Namaste has the unique opportunity to capture early market share of this
very significant component of the cannabis industry in the Canadian market. The Company will focus on production of high-quality
cannabis oils with healthy margin to be sold through both recreational and medical sales channels. Namaste's expertise with
cannabis hardware and devices will provide a competitive edge in securing its position in this segment of the market.
