• Organic Leaves
• Remedium
• Royal Cannabis
• Vital Cannabis
• Elemental Genetics

All of the acquired companies are based in Medellin, Colombia, with the exception of Remedium, which is based in Boston.

MedCana also purchased a controlling stake in an eighth company in Medellin, Eko2o Environmental Solutions, which specializes in greenhouse construction in Colombia and other parts of South America, MedCana said in a press release. It characterized the company as “a critical infrastructure supplier for some of Colombia’s largest flower producers.”

The seven acquired companies hold a combined 23 cannabis-related permits, including seven for CBD production, seven for THC production, seven for the fabrication of cannabis goods, and two for cannabis genetics, MedCana said in the release.
