ABOUT US
PRODUCTS OR SERVICES TO BE OFFERED
The large majority of sales will be in the form of hemp derived full spectrum extract (FSE) and CBD oil while a minority will be focused on high margin consumer products. Aside from servicing consumer product manufacturers (CPMs) and pharmaceutical needs, the extraction infrastructure also creates growth opportunities as an industry service provider. As the industry matures, we see GV becoming the premier ingredients provider for the many types of cannabidiol that are valued for their therapeutic and wellness benefits. The key value of our products and services is to set precedence for a burgeoning market by providing the highest standards in consistency, quality and delivery, with streamlined transactional processes, and excellent customer service.
What really sets Gratia Ventures apart from the competition is the focus that we have on complete vertically integrated operations in the U.S. and in Latin America with the access to distribution channels in Latin America and Europe.
