Cronos Group Signs Multiyear Supply Agreement With MediPharm Labs

MediPharm Labs Corp. LABSMEDIF has agreed to a multi-year supply deal with Cronos Group Inc. CRON.

What To Know

Per the deal, MediPharm will supply Cronos Group's wholly-owned subsidiary, Peace Naturals Project Inc., with roughly $30 million in cannabis concentrate over 18 months. These figures could jump to $60 million over 24 months, subject to certain renewal and purchase options.

Under a separate two-year tolling agreement, Cronos selected MediPharm’s Barrie, Ontario extraction facility as its preferred partner for particular processing needs.

“As the industry develops and matures, we see opportunity to work with companies like MediPharm Labs that provide specialized, high-quality services and inputs for our products,” said Mike Gorenstein, CEO of Cronos Group. “Along with our internal capabilities, we are pleased to be working with MediPharm Labs to bring great products to consumers in anticipation of the derivative market launching in Canada this fall.”

Cronos Group's stock traded higher by 6.7 percent at $15.21 per share Tuesday morning.
