VIST Labs and Paralab Join Forces to Revolutionize Cannabis Solutions in Europe
In a significant move for the cannabis industry, VIST® Labs, LLC has announced a strategic partnership with Paralab, a leading provider of pharmaceutical and technical solutions situated in Porto, Portugal. This alliance aims to enhance the distribution of VIST's advanced cannabis purification and packaging technologies across Europe.
Expanding Horizons
The essence of this partnership is to establish Paralab as VIST Labs’ official European hub for sales, distribution, installation, and technical support. This collaboration is set to accelerate the adoption of VIST's proprietary technologies, notably the innovative CryoPasteurization® decontamination and the AMAPS® packaging solutions. Rui Suares, the CEO of Paralab, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating,
“We are excited to join forces with VIST to bring state-of-the-art decontamination and packaging solutions to European cannabis producers.”
The goal is clear: to equip European cultivators with cutting-edge tools that not only enhance product safety but also extend shelf life and preserve quality. The strategic partnership represents a substantial milestone in VIST Labs' global expansion strategy, as noted by CEO Jim Sanfilippo. He remarked,
“Paralab's extensive technical capabilities and well-established industry relationships will be instrumental in our success.”
Advanced Technical Support
Drawing from over 30 years of expertise in pharmaceutical-grade solutions and regulatory compliance, Paralab is poised to deliver localized technical support to European operators. This ensures that cultivators are well-prepared to meet the stringent standards of Pharmacopeia, GMP, and CE compliance while optimizing their operational efficiency.
Groundbreaking Technologies from VIST Labs
Central to the VIST High-Output System are two revolutionary technologies designed to enhance cannabis quality, safety, and longevity. The first, CryoPasteurization®, is a natural and chemical-free method of decontamination that meets EU Pharmacopoeia standards by effectively eliminating yeast, mold, and bacteria. Complementing this, the AMAPS® Packaging System employs a proprietary modified atmosphere mechanism within ultra-high barrier package formats that can prolong shelf life up to two years. This system is particularly beneficial for industrial-scale cannabis storage and distribution.
Furthermore, the modular nature of VIST's systems allows for smooth integration of specialized features such as Terpene Infusion, which enriches the sensory profile of cannabis products, and Moisture Control, which helps maintain ideal humidity levels to prevent product degradation. VIST's solutions are scalable, catering to the needs of all growers regardless of their production volume. The capacity of VIST bioburden reduction equipment ranges from 11 kilograms per hour—suitable for small craft growers—to over 36 kilograms per hour in fully automated high-output lines tailored for large multinational producers.
Conclusion
VIST Labs and Paralab are set to reshape the future of cannabis processing in Europe through this strategic partnership. By expanding access to innovative technologies and expert support, they are empowering cultivators to navigate regulatory challenges and enhance their operational success. With a commitment to product safety and integrity, VIST Labs continues to define the new standards in the cannabis industry.
