(“Tilray” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: TLRY), a global leader in medical cannabis research, cultivation, production and distribution, today announced it has successfully exported medical cannabis extracts to Switzerland. Tilray’s entry into Switzerland marks the fourteenth country to distribute Tilray’s medical cannabis products, from its Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)-certified production facility, to patients in need.

“We’re proud to deliver Tilray’s medical cannabis to Swiss patients in need as we continue our expansion into Europe and around the globe,” says Sascha Mielcarek, Tilray’s Managing Director in Europe. “Tilray is committed to quality and patient safety and we look forward to significantly improving the quality of lives of Swiss patients through our medical cannabis products.”
