“The addition of the LivRelief brand to our existing product portfolio emphasizes our goal of becoming a global leader in the health, wellness, and self-care sector. There are significant synergies between both organizations and we expect an expeditious integration,” Grant Froese, the CEO of Harvest One, said in a statement.
“We will look to expand the development of Delivra’s products globally with an expanded reach of the current formulation and new products, including cannabinoid infused products, when and where legal,” Froese added.
Acquisition Significance
Harvest One believes that Delivra’s will further strengthen the company’s health, wellness, and self-care strategy by adding LivRelief to its brand portfolio.
Further, the company says it will benefit from the formulation expertise of Delivra as it works to create a suite of brands and infused versions of existing brands in the portfolio such as Dream Water.
