The companies will work together to develop CBD flavors and ingredients.
Radient Technologies Inc., an Edmonton, Alberta-based manufacturer of cannabinoid-based ingredients, formulations and products, and The Edlong Corp., an Elk Grove Village, Ill.-based manufacturer, marketer and provider of technology-driven natural flavor systems, ingredients and integrated solutions for the food and beverage industry, said they formed a strategic joint venture partnership. The companies will jointly create and market cannabidiol (CBD) flavor systems and product solutions for the food, beverage and pet food industries globally.
Combining Edlong’s expertise in the development, manufacturing and marketing of natural flavors and ingredients with Radient’s expertise in the industrial-scale extraction, purification and manufacturing of cannabinoid ingredients, the two companies will collaborate on the development of high-quality CBD-based flavors and ingredients that will meet global health and safety regulations and appeal to large global consumer markets. The companies said additional areas of interest for collaboration may be included in the future.
