OAKLAND, Calif., June 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Mesh Ventures, a private California-based investment fund focused on the rapidly growing legal cannabis industry, has entered into a joint venture with Portland-based cannabis products co-packer Gesundheit Foods.
A new, large scale manufacturing and packaging facility is being built in the Mesh Ventures Cannabis Complex in Oakland, California.
Led by Tony Bash, a food and beverage industry veteran and former senior vice president at Pepsi, Gesundheit covers all aspects of production, from concept to final packaging. With decades of experience in the industry, the company can offer unparalleled expertise to cannabis business owners and entrepreneurs.
"Joining forces with Mesh Ventures will provide us with the ability to scale our operations in California - the largest cannabis market in the world - and utilize their expertise and existing relationships," Gesundheit Foods CEO Tony Bash said. "We will be able to produce a wide range of cannabis products, including infused beverages, edibles, pre-rolls, and all of the associated packaging in our full-service facility."
