THC Global's Canadian division boosts revenue 22% in March quarter

THC Global Group Ltd‘s (ASX:THC) Canadian hydroponics equipment division Crystal Mountain increased revenue in the March quarter primarily due to stronger sales in the lighting and lighting equipment product ranges.

Crystal Mountain grew revenue to $991,000, a 22% increase on the previous quarter. 

New distribution agreements

The division is also securing distribution agreements within Canada and has expanded into Europe and the United Kingdom.

As these distribution agreements are settled and products come on sale, the company expects to see stronger sales in these regions.

Expanded product range

Crystal Mountain has expanded its product range through distributing new products imported from partners across Canada, and soon internationally.

The division is also exploring new sales channels including online cannabis-focused offerings targeted to the micro-cultivator market, which is rapidly increasing in Canada.

THC Global chief executive officer Ken Charteris said: “We are pleased to see our hydroponics equipment division continue to grow, particularly through our partnership strategy as we are able to both expand our product offering and broaden our market reach – both of which are core drivers of revenue growth.”
