TheNewswire - August 14, 2019 - Preferred Dental Technologies Inc. (CNSX:PDTI.CN) US(OTC:PDTTF) is pleased to announce that industry pioneer Martin Moravcik has agreed to join its board of advisors as the Company continues to develop its Hemp and CBD initiatives.
Mr. Moravcik has one of the longest running bios in the industrial hemp and CBD industries in Canada. In 1995, Mr. Moravcik partnered with Manitoba Agriculture to successfully oversee and develop the first industrial hemp trial crops in the province.
Building on his work since the early 90's, in 1997, Martin became a key contributor to the development of Health Canada's Industrial Hemp Regulations. In 1998, he co-founded Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods, and in his role as VP of Operations and VP of Research &Development, Martin developed processes for Hemp Seed Oil, Hemp Hearts, Hemp Milk (Bliss), Hemp Protein Powder and Hemp Seed Butter.
With Manitoba Harvest being recognized as the world's largest vertically-integrated hemp food manufacturer, Tilray purchased it in February 2019 for $419 million Canadian.
Currently, Mr. Moravcik is President of Plains Industrial Hemp Processing Ltd., North America's leading provider of industrial hemp fiber and hurd products applying over 30 years of hemp processing experience. In addition, there are some CBD initiatives under development at this time.
Mr. Moravcik clearly had a vision for the industry and was one of the first people to help advance this vision into developing the current hemp phenomena into reality. With experience in business, regulatory and government partnerships, product and formulation development, Mr Moravcik brings a truly unique skill set to the company and a track record of success.
PDTI President, Erik Siegmund stated, "In keeping with our core practice of surrounding ourselves with world class experts such as those found on our dental advisory board, Mr. Moravcik brings expertise to our hemp and CBD initiatives that are second to none. In our discussions with Mr. Moravcik, we have found someone not only with a strong history and presence in the field, as well as a wealth of practical knowledge, but also with a sense of vision for the industry. A vision we are pleased to share. His knowledge and contacts will be an invaluable addition to the company, and we feel the best is yet to come."
