A Brampton company is looking to enter the burgeoning hemp-based health and beauty products market with an acquisition of an Ottawa firm.
Pure Global Cannabis, through its subsidiary PureSinse, announced plans last week to acquire Ottawa-based Great Canadian Hemp Co. in a $560,000 deal. Some $60,000 of the acquisition cost will be paid in cash, with the remainder coming from Pure Global stock held in escrow over the next two years.
GCHC, which creates hemp-based skin and hair products, will become a business unit of PureSinse after the acquisition. Ross Hendry, Pure Global’s vice-president of consumer sales and marketing, said in a statement that the Ottawa firm’s established product lines made for an ideal entry into the hemp-based health and wellness market.
