Adastra Announces a Record Production Month and Management Changes
Adastra Holdings Ltd. (CSE: XTRX) (FRA: D2EP) (“Adastra” or the “Company”), a Health Canada Licensed cannabis company focused on processing, sales, organoleptic and analytical testing, is pleased to report that its wholly owned subsidiary Adastra Labs Inc. achieved a record month of production volume in February, more than doubling outputs.
Hydrocarbon Extraction Output Increased by 24%
Since February, hydrocarbon extraction and processing run times more than doubled, increasing from an average of 2.5 runs per day to 6 runs per day, which equates to 48 kilograms of cannabis biomass extracted each day. In February, a total of 570.9 kilograms of cannabis biomass was extracted. 710.4 kilograms of cannabis biomass has been extracted in March, accounting for a 24% increase in production; this is representative of just one of Adastra’s active processing lines.
The significant growth in cannabis biomass extraction was achieved by adding shifts and extending hours during the week. There has been an increase in demand for hydrocarbon-extracted shatter products for Adastra’s 100% owned brand, Phyto Extractions, and fulfillments for the Company’s co-manufacturing brands, along with the preparation for the launch of a highly-anticipated brand next month. The increased demand has led to seven hydrocarbon production runs per day, or approximately 56 kilograms of cannabis extracted daily. This does not account for Adastra’s cryo-ethanol production line, and brings Adastra closer to achieving its goal of $5 million per month in sales by Summer 2022.
Filling and Packaging Increased by 75%
In February, the production team filled and packaged 100,511 vaporizer cartridges and finished products. In March, 75,875 cartridges were filled in two weeks, with an anticipated total of 118,346 cartridges to be filled and packaged by the end of this month.
Filling increased from 6,000 cartridges to 10,500 cartridges per day, accounting for a 75% increase in one month.
“I am extremely proud of our team’s commitment and performance which has enabled us to achieve another record production month,” said Michael Forbes, Chief Executive Officer and Director, Adastra. “With more SKUs launching and co-manufacturing brands coming to market this Spring and Summer, Adastra intends to invest in more processing equipment, along with automation hardware and software to drive costs down and increase production outputs.”
Corporate Update
Adastra announces a recent update to its leadership structure with the departure of Chief Operating Officer, Corporate Secretary and Director, Donald Dinsmore, and the appointment of Michael Forbes as Corporate Secretary.
Donald Dinsmore commented, “After nearly four years of proudly working to build the Adastra team, I am parting ways to pursue other business endeavours. I look forward to what the future has to offer for both myself and the growth of Adastra.”
“On behalf of the Board of Directors and the Company, I want to thank Donald for his guidance and support in growing Adastra,” said Michael Forbes. “We wish him all the best in his next venture.”
