Led by experienced founding family operators, Zenabis has the potential for the third largest production capacity in the world. It is currently serving the Canadian marketplace, generating revenue with plans to expand internationally. We believe that as the company becomes better known, investors will better situate it amongst its market peers" said BlackShire Capital Chairman and CEO, Kevin Reed.
