Valens is excited to announce a white label agreement with Iconic to provide high quality extracts, formulation services, and SōRSE™ emulsion IP for its cannabis infused beverages. Iconic will brand and market the final product across Canada. Under the terms of the agreement, a minimum of 2.5 million cannabis infused beverages will be produced over five years with the opportunity to expand on the partnership with new product offerings in the near future.
“We are thrilled to partner with Iconic Brewing, one of the fastest growing alcohol beverage companies in eastern Canada, to help create their new line of cannabis-infused beverages,” said Tyler Robson, CEO of Valens. “Their ability to formulate and forecast trends is second to none, as demonstrated by the success of their current beverage products including Cottage Springs Vodka Soda, Picnic Wine Co, Liberty Village, and Cabana Coast. To service this agreement, we will be using our proprietary emulsion solution, SōRSE™ Technology, which creates oil-based ingestible products, including beverages, that offer a consistent experience with fast onset and offset.”
Cole Miller, who leads Iconic’s cannabis division, commented “We are extremely proud to partner with Valens on a new line of cannabis-infused beverages. We have an unwavering commitment to fostering a safe and comfortable experience for new cannabis users through low dosage and unparalleled product education. Coupled with Valens’ proprietary emulsion solution, SōRSE™ Technology, we are excited to deliver on our promise of developing one of the world’s most sought-after cannabis infused beverage lines.”
