MPX International Announces that its Maltese Subsidiary, Alphafarma Operations Ltd., Receives eu-gmp Certification
TORONTO, ONTARIO – TheNewswire - January 12, 2022 – MPX International Corporation (“MPX International”, “MPXI” or the “Corporation”) (CSE:MPXI) (CNSX:MPXI.CN) (OTC:MPXOF), a multinational diversified cannabis company, is pleased to announce that its indirect subsidiary, Alphafarma Operations Ltd. (“Alphafarma”) has received European Union Good Manufacturing Practices certification (the “EU-GMP Certification”) from the Medicines Authority of Malta (“MMA”) for its facility located in Birkirkara, Malta to finish dried cannabis flower in jars for medicinal use.
EU-GMP Certification is the highest standard for pharmaceutical production in the world and it is issued by a designated competent authority in Europe to pharmaceutical facilities that have passed a rigorous regulatory inspection process. Pending the receipt of the manufacturing license to be issued by the MMA for the production of cannabis for medicinal and research purposes (the “Cannabis License”), this certification will allow Alphafarma to begin processing and exporting medical cannabis flower from Malta into markets across Europe and elsewhere. Alphafarma has negotiated a favourable supply agreement with a licensed producer of cannabis flower which will be supplemented with additional biomass from its South African-based cultivation facility, likely in late 2023.
Through this certification, MPXI will be one of the very few companies with an EU-GMP certified cannabis facility which is actually located in the European marketplace. Alphafarma will also use the foundations established by the EU-GMP Certification process to imminently apply for a license amendment to process cannabis extracts, thus providing patients and prescribers with a wide portfolio of medical cannabis products of the highest quality, safety and efficacy standards.
“EU-GMP certification is a significant milestone for MPXI’s operations in Europe and MPXI’s international growth strategy. Our team in Malta has been exceptional in its pursuant of this certification and is well positioned for the next phase which is the export of cannabis flower to Europe,” said W. Scott Boyes, Chairman, President and CEO of MPXI. “This achievement reinforces our plans to create a global cannabis company. Once Alphafarma receives its manufacturing license, MPXI will be unique as the only cannabis company with revenue generating operations in North America, Europe and Asia, which MPXI believes will to additional strategic opportunities.”
