Toronto, ON --
April 05, 2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Wayland Group
(CSE:WAYL) (FRANKFURT: 75M)
(OTCQB:MRRCF) (“Wayland” or the
“Company”) is excited to announce that the Company has been
selected by the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical
Devices (“BfArM”), through its German joint venture DEMECAN GmbH,
to begin domestic production of medical cannabis for the rapidly
growing German patient population. The Company is one of three
groups that have been selected and is subject to a review period,
after which a final decision will be made no earlier than April 17,
2019.
From the beginning, the
market opportunity for medical cannabis in Germany has been a key
part of Wayland’s global growth strategy. The Company has always
prioritized Germany as one of the most exciting medical cannabis
markets in the world given its progressive regulations, rapidly
expanding patient population, and insurance coverage for over sixty
percent (60%) of prescriptions.
“This is a watershed moment
for our operations in Germany as it validates the early entry by
our company into that market. I congratulate Ben and his team on
the ground in Germany and our partner DEMECAN and thank them for
their hard work. We hope and expect to see similar successes in
other international markets where Wayland has made similar early
entries,” stated Wayland Chairman Paul Pathak.
