As part of the deal between Epsilon and Cannvalate, Valens will have access to Epsilon's GMP manufacturing capabilities at the Southport Facility located in Queensland, Australia, the largest cannabis manufacturing facility in the Southern Hemisphere and the largest at domestic scale with complimentary Therapeutic Good Administration (TGA) and EU GMP capabilities.

Products will be distributed via Valens' Australian distribution partner, Cannvalate PTY Ltd, while the agreement is between Epsilon, THC Pharma (Epsilon's wholly owned subsidiary and owner of the Southport Facility) Valens and its subsidiary Valens Australia Pty Ltd.

Under the agreement, Valens is supposed to fund all operational and capital expenditure of the Southport Facility in return for preferential access for up to 85% of the operational capacity of the Southport Facility over the next five years, with an option to extend this arrangement for an additional six years.

Why it matters

The partnership also marks the first GMP manufactured products to be sold through Valens in Australia, and provides Valens with the capability to deliver GMP-grade products to Latin America, Europe, UK and Asia-Pacific.
