The company is moving production into predominantly Canadian facilities, with a new facility constructed in Brampton, Ontario.
All of this is building towards the company’s entry into Canada’s recreational market, during the second half of 2020.
Pat Witcher, CEO of the MJardin Group said the company was in a state of transition when he took over. He went on to say he has now completed the necessary clean up required to refocus the company.
“With construction completed at the majority of the Canadian facilities and right-sized operations, we are well positioned to focus on a strong entry to the Canadian recreational market in the second half of 2020 and turn the corner as a business.
“I believe the true potential of MJardin will finally be highlighted to the consumers in the markets we serve, beginning in 2020,” he said.
