Materia Announces Strategic Portfolio Expansion
- Adds highly anticipated Aphria-branded dried flower and dronabinol to its curated medical cannabis portfolio in Germany
- Materia will distribute the products across its existing national pharmacy network, as well as into new pharmacy customers
LONDON, Feb. 23, 2021 /CNW/ - Materia, a medical cannabis and wellness company focused on the European market, is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary Materia Deutschland GmbH ("Materia Deutschland"), is expanding its portfolio of medical cannabis products being offered to pharmacies across Germany.
Materia Deutschland has entered into a commercial supply agreement with CC Pharma GmbH ("CC Pharma"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Aphria Inc., to distribute its high quality, Aphria-branded flower products across Materia Deutschland's pharmacy network throughout Germany. Under the terms of this agreement, CC Pharma will import and batch release the products, with Materia Deutschland taking responsibility for pharmacy sales and fulfillment.
Separately, Materia Deutschland has also entered into an agreement with an EU-GMP certified supplier of dronabinol, a pure THC API that accounts for approximately 35% of all publicly reimbursed medical cannabis prescriptions in Germany1, including finished pharmaceuticals.
"We have been intentionally selective in growing our portfolio, to ensure that new products will satisfy patients' evolving needs and bear the highest standards of quality," said Sebastian Blöte, Managing Director, Germany, of Materia Deutschland. "We are proud to work with partners who share our unwavering commitment to patient care and an enhanced societal understanding of cannabis' medical potential."
The addition of Aphria flower and dronabinol will bolster Materia Deutschland's offering to customers and accelerate its growth potential in the German market. Materia has already commenced sales of dronabinol, while sales of Aphria-branded products to pharmacies will begin in the coming weeks.
