As recreational cannabis sales soar in Michigan and product shortages continue, C3 Industries has completed ground-up construction of a new indoor cannabis cultivation and manufacturing facility in Webberville, Michigan. The facility began operating in November and is expected to reach full production capacity in Q1 2020.
"The state-of-the-art, 36,000-square-foot facility, located on Tech Drive in Webberville, will produce a high volume of premium, award-winning cannabis products for the medical and recreational markets under the brand Cloud Cover Cannabis," the team with the company explains. "This is C3's second facility – the group began operating a similar cultivation and manufacturing center in Portland, Oregon in 2018, and has since won first place for "Best Sativa Flower" at the 2019 Oregon Cannabis Cup."
"The Webberville facility, built from the ground up, was designed by C3 executives and the company's industry-leading cannabis design and engineering team. The facility includes indoor cultivation, hydrocarbon extraction, short-path distillation and a large commercial kitchen, along with packaging and distribution. Utilizing the latest in custom environmental controls, mechanical systems and irrigation technology, the facility will house about 7,000 plants at any given time, with more than 100 varieties in circulation."
"C3 has spent several years developing a proprietary blueprint for a cannabis cultivation and manufacturing facility, combined with one of the most experienced cultivation and processing teams in the industry today," said Joel Ruggiero, co-founder and chief horticultural officer. "This new facility was designed with the most sophisticated technology and equipment, allowing us to operate a clean facility using industry-leading horticultural practices."
According to them, C3 will invest more than $20 million in Michigan's cannabis industry and expects to employ nearly 300 people once the cultivation and manufacturing facility is at capacity and the retail network is fully operational.
