CannaSafe To Open New Testing Labs In Oregon, Florida, Illinois

2 minute read
CannaSafe, a California-based ISO accredited cannabis testing laboratory, plans on expanding and opening new testing labs in Oregon, Florida and Illinois. The labs are expected to be operational in Q2/Q3. With cannabis deemed essential and increased demand for cannabis during the COVID-19 pandemic, CannaSafe will utilize the additional laboratories to ensure consumer safety under the continuation of the cannabis supply chain.

CannaSafe’s new testing locations will bring high-quality, comprehensive testing services to the hundreds of brands growing in Oregon, Florida and Illinois, ensuring their products are compliant with their state regulations. Since it is federally illegal to ship products containing THC across state lines, CannaSafe’s California lab has been unable to accept out-of-state business, despite demand. The expansion will open up access to companies outside of California, with current clients having expressed strong interest in partnering with CannaSafe in their new locations.

“Over the past few years, we’ve established CannaSafe as a rigorous and trusted lab partner,” said CannaSafe CEO Aaron Riley. “We’ve had numerous inquiries from brands in these states to utilize CannaSafe’s services, and we’re excited to provide our expertise and best-in-class services in these new markets. Furthermore, cannabis testing is more important now than ever during these unprecedented times considering the steep spike in cannabis sales. By opening additional laboratories, we are doing our best to persevere despite the circumstances and bring assurance to users.”

CannaSafe has also moved into a new headquarters facility to accommodate the industry growth and demand. At 25,000 feet, the new headquarters is twice the size of their current facility and will be used to command and manage company-wide operations of CannaSafe’s quickly expanding lab network. This new location will house corporate staff as well as a state-of-the-art R&D facility geared at opportunities to make groundbreaking discoveries in Cannabis and Hemp.

CannaSafe has a 3-year audited revenue growth of over 12,000% – meaning that it matches its 2017 yearly revenue in a matter of a few days. CannaSafe’s laboratory testing services are utilized by the most recognized and trusted California cannabis and hemp brands like Dosist, Raw Garden, Stiiizy, Lowell Herb Co and Heavy Hitters.
