Cannabis Merger: Harborside Acquires Loudpack, Forming One Of Largest Marijuana Companies In California

Harborside Inc. HBORF has completed its previously announced acquisition of Loudpack, LPF JV Corporation, California’s leading manufacturer, cultivator and distributor of award-winning cannabis brands
This acquisition follows Harborside's acquisition of Urbn Leaf on March 1 and Sublimation Inc. in July 2021. 
"This is an important milestone," said Ed Schmults, CEO of Harborside. "By combining the businesses of Harborside, Sublime, Urbn Leaf and Loudpack, we established a true leader in California's cannabis industry with a strong platform for growth. The Loudpack team, led by CEO Marc Ravner, has built a tremendous business that is highly complementary to the rest of our operations. We welcome them aboard and look forward to building a stronger company together as StateHouse."
Marc Ravner, appointed president of integration of the Company said StateHouse has a promising future. "We are ideally positioned with an integrated platform that features strong brands, a broad retail footprint, scaled manufacturing, state-wide distribution and proprietary cultivation. On behalf of everyone at Loudpack, I look forward to building shareholder value as part of the StateHouse team."
