GATINEAU, Quebec, Aug. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Hydropothecary Corporation (“HEXO” or the “Company”) (TSX:HEXO) is proud
to announce that it has reached two milestones this week. The Company is celebrating its fifth anniversary and recently surpassed
200 employees.
The Company was incorporated in 2013 by co-founders Adam Miron and Sebastien St-Louis and is based in
Masson-Angers, Quebec. Now listed on the TSX, HEXO has a market cap of more than $750 million.
To mark the two occasions, HEXO is hosting an all-staff summer BBQ this afternoon. Local dignitaries will also
be in attendance: Mr. Alexandre Iracà, member of the Quebec National Assembly for Papineau; Mr. Marc Carrière, municipal councillor
for the City of Gatineau; and Mr. Stephane Lauzon, member of the Canadian Parliament for Argenteuil—La Petite-Nation.
“We are proud of the team that we have built so far,” said Andree St-Cyr, HEXO’s Director of Human Resources.
“We have a diverse group of hard-working people who care about each other and the company. Over the coming
weeks, months and years, we look forward to adding new people who share our team’s values and visions.”
HEXO is particularly interested in candidates who are looking to grow within the company and enjoy working in a
fast paced environment. The Company is looking to fill new positions from entry level to senior management across many departments
such as cultivation, processing, finance, marketing, and sales. HEXO is also seeking candidates to expand their information
technology and product innovation departments.
HEXO is anticipating further expansion and plans to employ more than 500 people by the end of 2018. Interested
candidates are advised to send their resumes to resume@hexo.com
