Our employees and our work culture make the difference

MEET OUR TEAM

Our entire team is committed to improving the quality of life of patients. We find sense in our work by appreciating how our efforts successfully help patients.

WE’RE GOOD TO GO

Behind thick armored doors and concrete walls, our team takes care of the propagation, cultivation and harvesting of our cannabis plants.

"We cultivate the oldest medicinal plant in the world. It’s deeply exciting to be able to help write the history of German medicinal cannabis"

WE KNOW THE ROPES

These three lay the foundation for a smooth process and ensure the necessary supplies. Even in the farthest corner of our warehouses, they find the smallest screw.

"No matter what you need, there’s no way around us"

WE RUN THE SHOW

Whether it’s quality assurance, operations management, sales or the best service – women’s power knows no bounds at our company.

"We are proud to be able to contribute to a better quality of life for our patients"

WE PLAY IT SAFE

Fast solutions, reliable IT and state-of-the-art technology are the alpha and omega of this well-coordinated squad.

"For us, speed is just as important as perfection"

PUT TO THE ACID TEST

Precision and purity are critical factors in the processing of medical cannabis. During the bottling phase, each flower is closely scrutinized and the correct THC content is determined.

"We are more than pleased to offer an alternative to chemical painkillers"
