Eastwest Bioscience Group announced that, further to its News Release on June 20th, the Company announced that construction is nearing completion on its CBD processing and bottling line in Lebanon, Kentucky. The CBD manufacturing line is part of its 50/50 joint venture with Azema Sciences through its US division, EastWest Science USA ("EastWest USA") and is targeted to be completed by December 15, 2019. The Joint Venture provides EastWest USA with continuous supply of premium CBD, as it is developing value added CBD consumer goods for the US market for the pet, skin care, functional food and supplement categories. The Joint Venture will also generate additional revenue streams: EastWest USA will retail CBD material manufactured by the Joint Venture and market the co-packing/bottling services provided by the Joint Venture. Additionally, the Lebanon, Kentucky facility will be one of EastWest USA's distribution centers for the US and European Union markets and it is the future home of its CBD supplement manufacturing line. Situated on a wholly owned 6-acre property, which is currently home to its 18,000sf CBD processing facility, Azema Sciences is one of approximately 110 licensed Hemp processors in Kentucky. The Joint Venture specifies exclusive access for EastWest USA to 9000 sf of Azema's facility, which will co-locate EastWest USA with Azema's CBD processing, tincture bottling and logistics operations. Co-locating provides EastWest USA with the real estate and resources to build out its own Nutraceutical manufacturing adjacent to Azema's CBD operations, providing significant efficiencies to its logistics and warehousing of product.
