DALLAS, Feb. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NetworkWire – OrgHarvest Inc., (“OrgHarvest”) (OTCMKTS: ORGH), a newly launched and complete seed-to-consumer hemp company, today announces that J. Larry Cantrell has succeeded Frank Celecia as the company’s president and chief executive officer, based upon the Stock Purchase Agreement which closed on January 28, 2020, which caused a change of control of the company.
Cantrell brings to OrgHarvest more than 30 years of experience in the development, branding, manufacturing and distribution of nutritional strategies. He has led and directed the development and launch of more than 100 products into the global marketplace. These products include nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, skincare products, functional foods and beverages. A long-time advocate of all-natural nutritional products, Cantrell earlier in his career was recognized by an industry publication as “one of the most knowledgeable and effective CEOs in nutrition.”
Under Cantrell’s guidance, OrgHarvest is advancing on its new mission to be recognized, respected and relied on as the premiere hemp ingredient brand. The company controls the science, seeds, farming, harvesting, extraction and the end products produced under the OrgHarvest brand. This control ensures the use of the highest quality hemp and processing, creating complete confidence in all OrgHarvest hemp offerings. It also provides total transparency in the seed-to-consumer hemp production process at a time when transparency remains a significant issue within the hemp and related industries.
“It’s been a challenge for companies in this industry to be able to tell end users and consumers where their hemp and its derivatives originate, including how it was processed and packaged,” said Cantrell. “With OrgHarvest, we have the ability, and it all begins with our farmer partners who are experienced and sophisticated growers that understand the genetics of superior hemp. In addition, our blockchain technology ensures that our hemp is traceable, with a complete history of every step that our hemp takes to arrive in the product purchased, either on the retail shelf or through our e-commerce channels.”
Cantrell continued, “Furthermore, because OrgHarvest either owns, or has exclusive agreements with, a number of brands to provide hemp ingredients (both consumer package products and under private labels), we ensure that any product with OrgHarvest hemp meets or exceeds regulatory and compliance standards.”
