OBX offers a portfolio of cannabinoid isolates at 99% purity, and provides formulation services and finished goods. The company is a member of the European Industrial Hemp Association and its Novel Foods Consortium, and serves a client base throughout Europe, Asia, and South Africa. The relationship with Nortecapital will allow OBX to expand in Mexico and Latin America."OBX's product quality is unmatched across the cannabinoid industry, as exemplified by their consistent growth and dedicated global customer base," said Nortecapital’s board designee Gabriel Senior. "Over the past two years, OBX has built a best-in-class team to deliver product excellence, and we are eager to support their distribution efforts throughout Mexico and Latin America.”
KEY founding partner Tiby Erdely added: "we are delighted to have the opportunity to work with OBX CEO Dave Neundorfer, OBX President Oscar Hackett, and the outstanding team at Steady State. The Steady State team brings decades of operational expertise from various industries to the emerging cannabis industry which has historically been challenged for lack of a trusted and reliable source and supply chain for top-tier ingredients. We see tremendous opportunity to work with Steady State to help drive the expansion of their suite of turn-key services that will undoubtedly continue taking industries by storm.”
