Hines: Atlantic Natural Foods Seeks Serious Investment Partner for Flagship Brand Expansion

Published

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Company poised for 50M+ in revenue, global product distribution

NASHVILLE, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–James Douglas Hines, founder of leading U.S. producer of shelf-stable
plant-based products and marketer Atlantic Natural Foods (ANF),
announced today that he has engaged Deloitte Corporate Finance, LLC to
assist with securing an investment partner for the rapidly growing
company. Brands in the ANF portfolio include Loma Linda® and
its award-winning plant-based seafood alterative Tuno™, neat®
and Kaffree Roma.

“Our Loma Linda meal solutions launch in 2018 saw unprecedented growth
as our products have rolled out in supermarkets and small grocery chains
across the U.S., the United Kingdom, and Australia,” Hines said. “We’re
committed to creating, manufacturing, and distributing high-quality,
sustainable plant-protein foods that are good for you and good for the
planet. We’re seeking an investment partner who shares our vision and
mission.”

In just 12 months ANF has secured more than 18,000 stores worldwide and
is in process of building for the next push as it trends towards $50
Million in revenue within two years.

“ANF’s incredible growth is driven by consumer demand of sustainable
products that taste great,” Hines added. “Although vegans love our
products, we’re seeing this demand in the mainstream market, too, as
consumers of all stripes are increasingly aware of how their food
choices effect their health and environment.”

According to Hines, the explosion of plant-based protein demand is
creating a need to drastically enhance the ANF’s supply chain,
factories, finance, marketing, execution, and human and financial
capital. Currently, ANF has manufacturing locations in Nashville, NC and
Bangkok, Thailand. Both are FDA-approved facilities, Kosher-qualified,
non-GMO-assured, with SQF and BRC verification – and uphold only the
most stringent health and food safety practices.

Rory Dineen, Managing Director of Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC said,
“We are pleased to work with ANF on this investment opportunity. The
food industry is evolving and ANF’s plant-based food alternative
products offer consumers affordable and sustainable protein options.”

The United
Nations projects
that by the year 2050, the current world population
of 7.3 billion is expected to reach 9.7 billion. A number that many
scientists believe
is the breaking point for the number of people
our planet can support.

These data drive Hines, a 40-year veteran of the global food sourcing
and creation market, who wonders what food his 10 grandchildren will eat
in the future. “We can see those numbers and panic, or we can work to
ensure we create products that meet the demands of today while
delivering hope for the future. I’m excited find a partner to join us in
changing the world while delivering a high-quality, high-value, and
sustainable product.”

TORONTO and GLIL YAM, Israel, April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IM Cannabis Corp. (CSE: IMCC) (NASDAQ: IMCC) (the “Company” or “IMC“), a leading medical cannabis company with operations in Israel and Germany, is announcing that, further to the news release dated January 12, 2024, the Company has decided not to make remaining installment payments installments (i.e. NIS 5,873K including interest or 2,154K CAD) by IMC Holdings Ltd., and as such will transfer the 51% shares held by IMC Holdings Ltd back to the  seller.

“With the April 1st cannabis legalization in Germany, we are focusing our resources on the German market, where we expect to see the biggest growth potential,” said Oren Shuster, CEO of IMC. “With both of our core markets, Germany and Israel, currently undergoing rapid evolution, we need to assure that we allocate our resources to the growth opportunities where we expect the best return on investment.”

About IM Cannabis Corp.

IMC (Nasdaq: IMCC) (CSE: IMCC) is an international cannabis company that provides premium cannabis products to medical patients in Israel and Germany, two of the largest medical cannabis markets. The Company has recently exited operations in Canada to pivot its focus and resources to achieve sustainable and profitable growth in its highest value markets, Israel and Germany. The Company leverages a transnational ecosystem powered by a unique data-driven approach and a globally sourced product supply chain. With an unwavering commitment to responsible growth and compliance with the strictest regulatory environments, the Company strives to amplify its commercial and brand power to become a global high-quality cannabis player.

The IMC ecosystem operates in Israel through its commercial relationship with Focus Medical Herbs Ltd., which imports and distributes cannabis to medical patients, leveraging years of proprietary data and patient insights. The Company also operates medical cannabis retail pharmacies, online platforms, distribution centers, and logistical hubs in Israel that enable the safe delivery and quality control of IMC’s products throughout the entire value chain. In Germany, the IMC ecosystem operates through Adjupharm GmbH, where it distributes cannabis to pharmacies for medical cannabis patients. Until recently, the Company also actively operated in Canada through Trichome Financial Corp and its wholly owned subsidiaries, where it cultivated, processed, packaged, and sold premium and ultra-premium cannabis at its own facilities under the WAGNERS and Highland Grow brands for the adult-use market in Canada. The Company has exited operations in Canada and considers these operations discontinued.

SHENZHEN, China, April 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — CCELL®, the world’s leading technology brand focused on creating trendsetting vape hardware products and advanced vaporization technology, today announced the launch of the Eco Star, the company’s all-in-one vaporizer focused on sustainability, wide-ranging oil compatibility, and ease of use.

The Eco Star’s casing material is made of biodegradable and plant-based PLA, a material that can be decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms. By adopting this type of eco-friendly casing, CCELL seeks to provide an option that can reduce the cannabis industry’s overall environmental impact and build a more sustainable society.

Built within the casing is a removable and recyclable lithium-ion battery. This thoughtful pull-apart design allows consumers to easily remove the battery before disposing of the casing, empowering them to contribute towards a greener Earth.

The Eco Star also features complete compatibility with all types of cannabis oils, clog-free dual air vents, and an isolated airway that ensures the cleanest possible vapor.

With increasing environmental challenges worldwide and tightening regulations on vape products, the Eco Star was introduced with the intention of raising environmental awareness across the industry.

The company has also implemented other measures to align its practices with its long-standing sustainability-focused values. These include offering biodegradable and plant-based PLA mouthpieces among its customization options. Additionally, the company uses energy-efficient aqueous processing in producing its patented ceramic heating cores to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Before the product’s official launch, CCELL provided their customers and consumers with an early look at the Eco Star at TPE24 and Hall of Flowers Ventura in the US, and Spannabis Barcelona in Spain.

Disclaimer for battery disposal: CCELL does not recycle lithium-ion batteries. Battery recycling requirements may vary by country, city, etc. Please contact your local recycling center for more details before disposal.
