(“MCOA” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: MCOA), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, is pleased to announce that the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, hempSMART, Ltd., has successfully launched and generated sales from its hempSMART™ CBD product line in Scotland.
On June 22, 2019, the hempSMART UK team successfully sold out at its launch event, which led to the sign-up of numerous new marketing associates. The Company’s launch event included an in-depth overview on the education of the CBD industry and its hempSMART products, as well as its marketing and compensation plans.
“We are delighted to report another milestone with the opening of hempSMART and our expansion into Scotland,” said Mr. Ian Harvey, Global Sales Director of hempSMART, Ltd. “There is a real demand for high-quality CBD products throughout Europe, and the success demonstrated from our sales in Scotland has confirmed this. After Saturday’s event, Scotland is an ideal location for the hempSMART brand, with future events and opportunity presentations already in place. I personally didn’t expect to ever be a part of a new company that could generate so much success and excitement in such a short period of time.”
“We are excited to finally offer our premium line of CBD products to the country of Scotland,” said Mr. Don Steinberg, CEO of MCOA. “It has always been MCOA’s goal to open sales of its hempSMART products in multiple countries around the world.
