Frequently Asked Questions

Who can buy from GES?

Any company holding a valid licence, whether in South Africa, or in another country that is aligned with the INCB, can request products from GES about purchasing products. Our footprint extends globally.

What licences and accreditations does GES have?

GES holds a South African Products Health Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) manufacturing authorization (License No: 1401.-.2) that authorises us in accordance to Section 22C(1)(b) of the Medicines and Related substances Act, 1965 (Act 101 of 1965) to import, export, manufacture, pack, label and distribute cannabinoid containing products as well as a GMP certificate (26/7/3/31/1/G0053/2023). We also hold a written confirmation of GMP for export of active substances into the European Union for medicinal products for human use, in accordance with Article 46b(2)(b) of Directive 2001/83/EC.

What manufacturing authorizations does GES have?

a. Bulk Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) containing cannabinoids and isolates, including Dronabinol
b. Formulated Dronabinol oily drops
c. Formulated CBD and THC oily drops

Do GES offer product development?

Yes, GES has an extensive research and development programme with product development teams. We have in-house stability and testing capabilities with well-resourced laboratories to perform product development including packaging design and development.

What does private label or white label mean at GES?

GES does not own any brands globally with most of our resources focussed on ensuring our clients have the best possible product for their brand. By private label we offer a service where we can custom bespoke client-specific products and formulations from start to finish including packaging. This will be contract manufactured and not sold to anyone else under that formulation and brand. White labelling at GES refers to GES developed products that we can put our clients brand on. These are products that are often “ready to go” and simply require a clients artwork to be placed on the product and exported to the desired market.
