StillCanna Inc. Company Profile
StillCanna Inc. (CSE:STIL) (OTC:SCNNF) is a fully-integrated seed-to-shelf CBD company that is focused on large-scale CBD extraction in Europe. Through working with growers and brands, StillCanna offers an integrated approach to the legal CBD industry in Europe and North America, with a focus on high-quality CBD oil extraction and distillation.
The company has one of the largest agricultural footprints for CBD cultivation in Europe and is one of only three companies in Europe with its own proprietary and registered hemp seed.
StillCanna’s vision is to provide consistent, refined nutraceuticals, using only organic and clean extraction methods and improving CBD extraction processes to make them more cost-effective.
Helping Patients Feel Better
When Dr. Brian Martin, the former president of the College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia, joined the StillCanna team in May 2019, he was excited about the opportunity to offer the benefits of CBD to more patients across the globe.
As StillCanna's Vice President of Product Development, Dr. Matrin will lead the company's consumer, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical product formulations to enhance the natural capabilities of CBD.
He is evaluating the company's current Olimax product line, which includes a range of products including dried cannabis tea, cold-pressed cannabis oil, cannabis proteins, and a variety of CBD oils. Dr. Martin will be formulating new CBD-related products with a special focus on expanding nutritional (food and beverages) and wellness marketplaces. Some of the products that StillCanna is in the process of developing are CBD water, a hemp soda drink, and CBD face cream.
“The most exciting thing is to know that you are part of a movement and StillCanna is a leader in that movement. StillCanna is going to have a positive impact on people,” Dr. Martin said. “We live in a great time right now, where we have a lot of resources, a lot of medical advancements, a lot of ability to have a higher quality of life. CBD is definitely a part of that.”
Producing High-Quality CBD for Less
StillCanna has the ability to extract a large quantity of high-quality organic CBD for less.
The company has engineered a proprietary commercial scale extraction system that utilizes food-grade ethanol as its extraction medium. With an existing beta unit, StillCanna has developed a new method of refining and distilling cannabis down to a molecular level in order to produce a range of CBD products.
StillCanna’s extraction model uses food-grade ethanol to process large volumes of CBD oil in a shorter time and provide specific refinement. This extraction method also offers a lower cost per gram to process cannabis to CBD. StillCanna's experienced team are experts in THC-free CBD extraction and have processed over 1,000 batches.
The company has two European operations located in Romania and Poland, with the former focused on extraction while the latter deal with both agriculture and extraction. StillCanna's agricultural team has not lost a hemp crop in over 20 years and has increased its farming footprint from 600 hectares to 1,500 hectares in the last year.
In September 2018, StillCanna secured a three-year $46 million CAD extraction contract with Dragonfly Biosciences.
