Verus International, Inc. announced its newest operating division, Pachyderm Labs, which will target the consumer cannabidiol (“CBD”) products market. The division will operate out of the Company’s Houston, Texas location, which will operate as both a manufacturing and warehouse facility. Pachyderm Labs has been a stealth initiative under development for nearly a year, so it enters the Verus product family with a fully developed product line, supply chain, distribution channels, inventory, and initial customers. Pachyderm Labs will feature two main brands, “Elephant Hemp” and “U-Try CBD,” and will initially have more than 12 different SKU’s with multiple flavor and aroma variations, covering health-enhancing oils, creams, lotions and other CBD-infused edibles. The brands have been designed for both CBD-oriented retailers and mass retailers such as drug stores and convenience stores. Initial sales will be to traditional CBD-oriented retailers, but some segments of the product line will also target buyers at national convenience and drug store chains. Pachyderm Labs will initially concentrate on the U.S. market.
