About Zenabis
Zenabis is a significant licensed cannabis cultivator of medical
and recreational cannabis, and employs staff coast-to-coast, across
facilities in Atholville, New
Brunswick; Delta and
Langley, B.C.; and Stellarton, Nova Scotia. In addition to
gaining technologically advanced knowledge of plant propagation,
the recent addition of state-of-the-art greenhouses in Langley provides Zenabis with 3.5 million
square feet of facility space that can, upon full conversion, be
dedicated to cannabis production.
If all facility space is fully built out and dedicated to
production, Zenabis will own, and have access to, 660,000 square
feet of high quality indoor cannabis production space, as well as
2.1 million square feet of greenhouse space at its Langley facility (an additional 700,000 square
feet of greenhouse space will be used to continue the existing
propagation business, to be converted at such a time that is
beneficial to the strategic position of the company), strategically
positioned on Canada's coasts.
These facilities, if fully converted for cannabis production, would
have the design capacity to yield 479,700 kg of dried cannabis
annually, for both national and international market distribution.
The Zenabis brand name is used among the medical market, while
Namaste is used to service the recreational market.
The management team at Zenabis has significant experience in
