MJAR Holdings Acquires Intellectual Property Portfolio Related to the Cultivation of Premium Cannabis from MJardin Management
MIAMI & DENVER --(Business Wire)--
MJAR Holdings, LLC ("MJAR"), a Miami, Florida-based company dedicated to
acquiring, developing and licensing industry-leading intellectual
property related to premium cannabis production, announced today that it
has acquired a robust IP portfolio from MJardin Management, LLC
("MJardin Management"), a Denver, Colorado-based cultivation management
company with significant experience developing and operating legal
large-scale cannabis cultivation facilities. Financial terms of the
transaction were not disclosed.
MJAR's newly acquired portfolio, which has been developed and
successfully deployed by MJardin Management in the cultivation of
premium cannabis for more than four years, consists of proprietary
cultivation processes, technologies, designs, formulas, systems,
software, genetics, nutrient formulations, and other materials
associated with large-scale premium cannabis production.
MJAR will immediately monetize its portfolio by licensing the
intellectual property to MJardin Management, which in turn will continue
to provide and expand its turnkey cultivation management services to
select third-party clients. In markets where MJardin Management does not
operate, MJAR will directly license its IP to other licensed third-party
cannabis producers on a selective basis. This approach will serve to
broaden MJAR's ability to capitalize on opportunities in the rapidly
expanding base of jurisdictions that are permitting the cultivation and
distribution of medical and/or recreational cannais.
Adam Denmark Cohen, MJAR's CEO and a co-founder of MJardin Management,
remarked, "Legal cannabis is no longer a question of 'if' but 'when.'
Today, we are operating in a multi-billion dollar industry that is
sanctioned in one form or another by 23 states and the District of
Colombia, with more states and countries expected to follow suit in the
near future. As these regions begin to adopt rules that create markets
for legal cannabis production and consumption, demand is driving
licensed companies to establish large-scale, professionally managed
cultivation facilities. To properly scale these facilities requires a
strict focus on sound agricultural principles, operational efficiency,
regulatory compliance, and quality control. MJAR's newly acquired IP
portfolio provides best-in-class solutions to accomplish this."
MJardin Management's executive team includes proven cannabis industry
entrepreneurs who have been involved with Colorado's medical cannabis
industry since its inception. James R. Lowe, co-founder and President of
Cultivation Management, is a professional cannabis cultivator who has
participated in the design, construction and/or management of more than
40 commercial medical cannabis facilities. John J. Fritzel, co-founder
and President of Business Development, has founded and operated multiple
well-known medical and recreational cannabis businesses and is a
significant license holder in the State of Colorado.
Commenting on the sale, Mr. Lowe stated, "Our strategic relationship
with MJAR Holdings provides us with the flexibility needed to develop
additional methods and technologies aimed at further refining the
cultivation of the finest quality cannabis. Furthermore, the nature of
the relationship enables us to continue to pursue new business
opportunities while effectively serving our existing and quickly
expanding multi-state client base."
