(OTC Market, trading symbol UPPR) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Growing Springs Holding Corporation, has announced the completion of its acquiring 5 hemp biomass extraction modules, capable of extracting CBD isolates and distillates from hemp.
In line with their vision to ensure a sustainable supply of raw materials for consumer-facing products, Hemp and CBD firm Upper Street Marketing (OTC: UPPR) recently announced the completion of a key agreement to acquire 5 biomass extraction modules from Portland-based supplier ICC Northwest.
This will build and enhance UPPR’s ability to extract hemp biomass for its 2020 expansion. Each of the 5 modules are expected to supply an additional 20,000 pounds of daily extraction capacity for UPPR’s biomass processing program, raising the overall extraction numbers to 100,000 pounds of hemp biomass each day.
The modules, whose financing has been successfully completed, are set to be delivered to UPPR in April 2020. The event is a significant milestone for the company’s plans to process and extract the 2,000,000 pounds of hemp biomass that it has stockpiled from its 2019 cultivation exercises via strategic Colorado hemp farms, and to process hemp biomass from other hemp growers.
UPPR’s President Joseph Earle said, “This is a key win in his company’s bid to position itself as a transformative force in the bullish CBD market. This is an exciting moment for both us and for the still-nascent CBD industry because of the strategic importance of additional operational volume.
