Tilray Partners With Cannamedical To Export Medical Cannabis To Germany

Tilray, Inc. TLRY said Wednesday it signed an agreement with Pharma GmbH (Cannamedical) through its subsidiary Tilray Portugal Unipessoal Lda. for the purpose of exporting $3.3 million worth medical cannabis from Portugal to Germany this fall.

The initial shipment is going to be the Tilray’s first shipment from its state-of-the-art EU campus in Portugal to Germany, the company said.

“This is a significant milestone for Tilray as we ramp up our capacity to serve international markets and generate revenue from our EU campus through the end of 2019,” said Tilray CEO Brendan Kennedy. “We believe our 2.5 million square feet of cultivation and state-of-the-art processing space in Europe is an important differentiator, which will enable us to reduce costs and improve margins while hedging against regulatory risk.”
