"In parallel with our success in Australia, we are working to establish our strength in Europe, with collaborations and the establishment of an advanced operational infrastructure in Greece."The agreement was signed under the assessment that the exports to Australia will increase overtime, as Cannatrek requires products from a manufacturer with extensive experience and quality products, Seach said.Under the agreement, Seach will also be the sole supplier of medical marijuana to Cannatrek from Israel.In order to meet the EU's Good manufacturing practice requirements, Seach partners with Panaxia to manufacture the cannabis products being sent to Australia. From there, Seach has also exported cannabis oils to Germany as well as Cyprus, in accordance with the European market standards.
"We recognize that there is a growing demand in Australia for Seach's quality cannabis products, especially the "Black" and "Kush-Dan varieties," and are working to ensure continued supply and therapeutic continuity to our patients," said founder and CEO of Cannatrek Tommy Huppert."We witnessed the success of Seach's products in Israel and the first shipment gave us confidence in the company," he added. "It also led to the signing of the framework agreement on a significant scale, which I believe will be the beginning of further agreements in the future."
