The amendment also includes a beverage production area dedicated to the Truss/HEXO beverage division.  

“Receiving the sales license for our Belleville facility is extremely positive news for HEXO and Truss, our joint-venture with Molson Coors Canada,” said Sebastien St-Louis, CEO and co-founder of HEXO. “This license allows us to increase our processing capability significantly, achieve greater economies of scale, and continue to roll out more innovative 2.0 products across all of our brands Powered by HEXOTM, including hash, vapes, cannabis beverages, and other edible cannabis products.”

The Belleville facility will act as the main development, processing and distribution facility for HEXO’s cannabis products.
