Today, STENOCARE has signed a contract to establish a large scale, state-of-the-art medical cannabis cultivation facility in Denmark.
Raising the bar
For more than a year, STENOCARE has been pursuing innovative ways to combine the benefits of scale from greenhouse cultivation of medical cannabis with the advantages of highly controlled production. In pursuit of this, STENOCARE has selected a global leader in its field, Havecon Horticultural Projects (Netherlands) to co-develop a unique technology/facility that meets extreme demands for control of light, climate and 100% pesticide-free in-door cultivation, at scale. This includes 24/7 environmental control through application of “pharma-standard” technology involving air filtration, active climate control with positive pressurized rooms, water treatment and continuous monitoring of all relevant quality parameters and processes.
Ready in Q1-2020
The project is now ready to commence. Therefore, STENOCARE has today entered into a turnkey construction contract with Havecon to build the first such facility in the world. The commercial terms and technical specifications remain undisclosed for competitive reasons, yet the parties announce that the construction will commence shortly, and the facility is expected to be ready for cultivation in Q12020. In the meantime, STENOCARE will continue its already initiated initial cultivation in order to secure the ability to produce with consistency. Cultivation is developed in close cooperation with and based upon intense tech-/knowledge transfer from our partner and shareholder, CannTrust in order to set new standards for best-of-breed cultivation.
Independent Premium Brand
The decision to establish premium manufacturing at scale is a natural consequence of STENOCARE’s recent announcement that it has commenced its cultivation of medical cannabis on Danish grounds and marks the next step towards establishing STENOCARE as a frontrunner and global premium brand in medical cannabis.
Thomas Schnegelsberg, CEO of STENOCARE, comments: “Our Production Director, Søren Kjær, has been working intensively with the specialists at our partner, Havecon Horticultural Projects to arrive at today’s important announcement that we will establish a highly innovative and industry-leading cultivation facility. This will play an important role in establishing STENOCARE as a leader in premium medical cannabis”.
Henk Verbakel, CEO of Havecon, comments: “We were impressed and excited from our first contact with STENOCARE. We have established over 10 projects for medicinal/medical cannabis cultivation worldwide but have never before seen such ambition to create a hybrid that lives up to the benefits of scale from traditional greenhouses while maintaining the benefits of quality from cleanroom type manufacturing. Together with STENOCARE, we have developed just that. I am very proud”.
