Mike Withrow has a lengthy record of success as an entrepreneur in the natural products and technology sectors, but he has a particularly noticeable spring in his step these days.
His latest venture, AREV Brands International Ltd. (CSE: AREV), at which Withrow is CEO, is a Canadian based cannabis company with a strategic international presence.
AREV Brands produces and delivers functional ingredients from the company’s world-class extraction system and is focused on the continued innovation within the cannabis sector. AREV has spent the last 2+ years on research and development, and has developed a comprehensive line of finished products.
"It’s been years since being this excited about a company's growth prospects." says Withrow. "We have a strong management team and a fantastic business model."
The company has full market testing completed in topicals, genetics, edibles, extracts and infused beverages. As AREV Brands continues to progress on its licensing in Canada, it has made recent key acquisitions.
AREV Brands’ Acquisition of BC Bud Depot (BCBD) allows for the complete control of an award-winning seed bank of rare cannabis genetics. The acquisition has strategically positioned AREV, enabling the company to partner with selected licensed producers (LPs) to grow specific strains on request, utilizing AREV Brands’ advanced extraction systems for ingredients and consumerready finished product lines. The company is launching www.bcbudradio.com this month for consumers to listen and learn about this new burgeoning industry.
AREV also acquired BARE Topicals, an award-winning line of topical THC and CBD-based skincare products, as well as German subsidiary Deutsche Medizinal Cannabis UG (DMC” for the purpose of cannabis brokering.
As a result of AREV Brands’ strategic acquisitions, partnerships and industry experience, the company has quickly defined several components of differentiation when compared to other big players in the cannabis space.
AREV Brands has also secured 28 acres of land in a strategic location in Sorrento, B.C. The company is working on its application for cultivation under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR). AREV has a full line of cannabis-based (THC and CBD) products that target the top five specific medicinal applications (anxiety, pain management, insomnia, central nervous system and sexuality/ disorders.)
CBD sports nutrition supplements are also part of the business plan, as are advanced extraction systems. The Company has three advanced extraction systems strategically positioned in B.C. and Quebec for the production of CBD oil and other terpenes.
