Candelay Industries Collaborates with Organic Growth Holdings on First Import of CBD Distillate from

“We chose Candelay for its professionalism and ability to efficiently navigate the complex US import processes,” said Robert Weinstein, President of OGH. “Every step of our process from hand planting our seeds, hand harvesting our plants and utilizing solely organic extraction methods in our cGMP facility, is executed to provide our customers with a differentiated premium quality CBD product. It was essential for us to have a US importer who understands and appreciates our focus to deliver this level of quality to our customers on a consistent basis,” Weinstein added.
“As we looked for a partner in Jamaica, OGH made perfect sense,” commented Brobyn. “The OGH team is professional, knowledgeable and collaborative. On top of that, their product is some of the best we have seen. From the clear golden color of the distillate, to the scientific confirmation of over 84% pure CBD it really made the decision easy,” added Brobyn.
