Organigram’s Popular SHRED Brand Surpasses $200 Million in Yearly Retail Sales
Success of the brand owed to ongoing pipeline of innovative products designed to delight consumers.
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Organigram Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OGI) (TSX: OGI), (the “Company” or “Organigram”), a leading licensed producer of cannabis, celebrates a monumental achievement as its SHRED brand surpasses the $200 million mark in yearly retail sales.1
SHRED revolutionized the cannabis industry in September 2020 when it launched as the first brand to offer high-quality, convenient, milled flower in three bold flavour territories, produced using only high-quality whole flower. By being the first to market with this innovation, SHRED swiftly captured the attention of consumers seeking convenience, quality, flavour and value. From there, the brand expanded to include other popular as well as innovative product categories such as pre-rolls, infused pre-rolls, gummies, and hash, with its patent-pending, award winning Rip-Strip hash.
“Underpinning SHRED’s great product lineup is its unique brand positioning, one that continues to resonate deeply with cannabis consumers across the country, " said Tim Emberg, Chief Commercial Officer of Organigram. "Back in 2020, we recognized an untapped niche in the industry and seized the opportunity to build and deliver a bold new brand that set us apart from the competition. But we didn’t stop there and continued to deliver an ongoing pipeline of consumer-focused innovations such as Heavies IPRs, Rip-Strip hash, and most recently, a whole-flower derived THCV lineup, all designed to delight our self-proclaimed ‘SHRED-Heads,’’ he added.
"Our commitment to innovation is unwavering. We constantly strive to push the envelope, delivering products that exceed expectations and redefine industry standards, which is why we were able to reach this significant milestone,” he concluded.
