TORONTO, July 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Flora Growth Corp. (“Flora” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a corporate update on the facilities expansion for Breeze Laboratory S.A.S. (“Breeze”). Since announcing the intent to acquire Breeze in April 2020, Flora has helped initiate several expansion projects to improve Breeze’s manufacturing capabilities to better serve Flora’s brand portfolio.
“Once the acquisition of Breeze is complete, it will be the newest member of the Flora portfolio, and one of the most important, as it will act as the manufacturing hub for our products,” commented Flora’s CEO, Damian Lopez. “Breeze’s ongoing facilities expansion is an important step in growing Flora’s business, and we are excited to provide investors with a full update on the progress so they may better appreciate its significance.”About Breeze’s Facilities ExpansionIn order to meet Flora’s market-expansion targets, Breeze is constructing new facilities that are intended to meet international standards to obtain quality certifications including Good Laboratory Practices, BPE, EU-GMP, and Cosmetics-GMP.
