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.
