Exciting Upgrades at GESLabs: Elevating Manufacturing Capacities for Enhanced Partner Value

GMP-compliant cannabinoid based therapeutic actives

The conclusion of our dedicated 18-month optimization program has resulted in a significant reduction to our manufacturing cost base….which means better value for our partners!

Enhancements for Unmatched Quality and Efficiency

Over the past 18 months, our dedicated team of engineers has focused on optimizing and modernizing our South African facility. These advancements, now fully implemented and validated, have step-changed our production efficiencies including the following:

We’ve Doubled our Cold-Ethanol Extraction Capacity: A 100% increase in our production of full-spectrum, decarbed crude oil with NLT 70 wt% THC/CBD.
We’ve Quadrupled our Distillation Capacity: Boosting our high-vacuum, wiped-film distillation line by 400%, delivering NLT 90 wt% THC/CBD.
We’ve Engineered a Tenfold Increase in Downstream Formulating: Expanding our capacity by 1000% for formulated oral formulations and inhalation cartridges.

Wiped film distillation upgraded unit from pilot glass to commercial stainless steel with 300% evaporation and collection rate of high-potency, 90%, THC/CBD distillate

Increased capacity on bulk formulated oils production with 4 x 200L new blending and bulk holding tanks for a 1,000% increase in production capacity

Upgraded critical cooling/heating to upgrade cryo ethanol extraction capacity by 100%

Unprecedented Value for Our Partners

These critical upgrades bring immediate and substantial value to the market:

Investment in Supply Chains: Vertically integrated supply chains ensure a stable, reliable supply of high-quality, low-cost biomass for processing
Investment in Equipment: Enhancing our technological capabilities and setting the benchmark for world-class cannabis manufacturing
Process Optimization: Streamlining our processes to ensure superior product quality, consistency, and rapid turnaround on orders.

Join us on this exciting journey and experience the unparalleled quality and value our advancements offer. These enhancements in our business have led to a 25% reduction in our manufacturing costs and so expect significant changes to our ethanol-based products.
