One World Products, Inc. OWPC, a fully licensed hemp and cannabis producer in Colombia and a dominant entity in the hemp and cannabis production industry, announced an exclusive collaboration with Smokiez Edibles on Tuesday.
What Happened
Through this partnership, OWP will become the singular producer and distributor of the widely-acclaimed Smokiez Gummies in the Colombian territory.
Why It Matters
Under the deal, OWP will leverage its facilities within the Colombian Free Trade Zone to manufacture and distribute the Smokiez Gummies to the Asian, South American and European markets.
Additionally, the dual-pronged strategy will be an instrumental step for both companies in broadening their global outreach and establishing a firmer foothold in pivotal international markets, OWP said.
Isiah Thomas, chairman and CEO of One World Products, Inc., called the "a monumental chapter in One World Products' growth narrative."
"Smokiez's unparalleled reputation for their vegan edibles is precisely the kind of innovation we want to introduce to our markets," Thomas said. "Our state-of-the-art facilities in the Colombian Free Trade Zone, coupled with Smokiez product excellence, places us in a prime position to cater to and captivate global audiences."
The former Detroit Pistons player-turned-entrepreneur spoke at last year's Benzinga event in Miami Beach. Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference returns in Chicago this Sept. 27-28.
What's Next
Ryan Wright, co-founder of Smokiez Edibles said the partnership with OWP will further enhance Smokiez's global reach.
