While the vertical farming industry is still working to prove its long-term viability, cannabis growers have had no trouble embracing verticality. In fact, many are thriving because of it. Ask around, and most cultivators will tell you they're rocking a Pipp rack system.

With thousands of customers worldwide, Pipp Horticulture has carved out a leading position in cannabis cultivation infrastructure. But interestingly, the company's roots aren't in horticulture at all. "Pipp actually started out in the retail sector," explains Curtis Dadian of Pipp. "We were focused on storage and shelving solutions for traditional retailers. But when we saw a space in horticulture, we expanded our team and added resources to support cannabis growers, leveraging the success we had in the retail industry."
That pivot paid off. Over the past eight years, Pipp became one of the most recognizable names in cannabis cultivation equipment. Now, with a solid track record and deep insight into the cannabis value chain, the company is circling back to its origins, bringing its extensive retail experience into the cannabis dispensary space with the launch of its new Dispensary Storage Line.
"We've dominated the retail sector, and we've spent nearly a decade learning how cannabis works, from MSOs to small operators, from cloning to post-harvest," Curtis says. "It just makes sense to merge that knowledge and bring smarter storage to the dispensary level."
Filling the gap in retail cannabis operations
While cultivation tends to get much of the spotlight, the back end of cannabis retail is often overlooked. Inventory management, compliance, and order fulfillment, especially with the ongoing demand for online orders and delivery, are becoming increasingly complex. And that's precisely where Pipp sees opportunity.
"With modular shelving, high-density storage, and smart bin systems, our new Dispensary Line is designed to bring order and efficiency to the back-of-house operations," Curtis explains. "It's about making sure dispensaries, whether it's a single shop or a large MSO footprint, are ready for both walk-in traffic and online surges."

The emphasis is on modularity and standardization. "Our Dispensary Storage line provides standardized, cost-effective solutions suitable for both local dispensaries and MSOs," Curtis says. "A chain can replicate the same layout across locations, and thanks to our modular design, it's easy to scale up or reconfigure as needed."
Bridging Pipp's past and future
For Pipp, the Dispensary Line is more than just a new product, it's a return to form. "In a way, it represents the old Pipp and the new Pipp coming together," Curtis says. "Cannabis growers know and trust us. Now, it's time for cannabis retailers to get to know us too."
