Canopy Growth is turning to an established name in cash management to secure another kind of green.
“The cannabis industry requires at-scale security solutions in order to continue on a trend of global growth, and Brink’s is uniquely positioned to provide these solutions,” Brink’s president and CEO Doug Pertz said in a statement.
Brink’s, perhaps best known for the armoured trucks used to transport cash from banks, will provide Smiths Falls-based Canopy with logistics, cash management services and secure cannabis delivery both in Canada and around the world. The partnership, announced late last week, will extend to Canopy’s retail customers and affiliated growers through the development of a cross-selling platform.
