Canadian cannabis producer Green Karat enters German craft cannabis market in partnership with Cantourage

Berlin, June 20, 2023 – Green Karat, a renowned Canadian company that specializes in the cultivation of Craft Cannabis, proudly announces its expansion into the European market. In collaboration with Cantourage Group SE (hereinafter “Cantourage,” ISIN: DE000A3DSV01), a leading European company for the production and distribution of cannabis-based medicinal products, Green Karat will soon make its high-quality cannabis flowers available to the German market. This expansion means a further improvement in the supply of high-quality craft cannabis for patients in Germany, who can already obtain medicinal cannabis as a prescription drug through pharmacies.

Green Karat is based in the province of Québec, Canada, and operates a state-of-the-art production facility of 1,160 square meters on the picturesque north coast of Montreal. With four specially equipped flower rooms and an annual cultivation capacity of 1,500 kg, Green Karat is ideally positioned for the cultivation of Craft Cannabis. Run by family and friends, the business is operated by a small but highly skilled team with many years of experience. Green Karat places great emphasis on growing small batches of premium cannabis flowers to ensure outstanding quality. The company is looking forward to entering into other international markets soon.

Kim Supple, Quality Manager of Green Karat, expressed her excitement about the new partnership: “Working with Cantourage will allow us to reach another milestone in the development of our company: entering the European market. We are proud to be able to provide patients in Germany with our unique cultivars. In doing so, we of course remain committed to our unwavering dedication to quality.”

“With Green Karat, we have gained an important partner whose products are already highly regarded in Canada. Collaborations of exactly this nature allow us to provide patients in this country with premium cannabis from the pharmacy,” commented Bernhard Retzer, Cantourage’s Global Director of Sales.
