Dixie Brands, Inc. has tapped American Cannabis Company, Inc. for management of their new cultivation facility which will feature energy efficient lighting technology from Heliospectra AB for plant research and greenhouse cultivation.
The three companies have formed an innovative alliance, designed to support Dixie’s commitment to technology adoption and the environment, by leveraging Heliospectra’s industry disrupting LED grow lights, which are fast becoming an integral part of American Cannabis’s full service, cannabis cultivation consultation offering. The agreement, including installation of the Heliospectra LX601C indoor lamp is effective immediately with installation of the lights coincident to the build-out of Dixie Colorado’s new grow facility.
“Dixie is amongst the smartest of operators in the cannabis industry, and they understand the importance of running an energy efficient operation,” said Staffan Hillberg, CEO Heliospectra AB. “Heliospectra’s lamps, installed in the cultivation facility of their Colorado affiliate, will provide significant savings - resulting in a direct impact on their bottom line, as well as, in the quality of plant material they can grow for their industry leading infused products.”
“There is nothing that pleases me more than to find support and guidance from the best and brightest in the industry,” said Tripp Keber, CEO of Dixie Brands, Inc. “We know how to leverage technology to develop innovative delivery systems for our infused products, but we are more than happy to outsource our expertise when it comes to cultivation and lighting. Our intent is to prove their technology with our Colorado affiliate, Left Bank, LLC with the goal of finding success that we can roll out to affiliates around the country. We are proud to be on the cutting edge of lighting innovation with Heliospectra and our partners at ACC, and I have no doubt that our future is bright with great partners like them by our side.”
With American Cannabis responsible for Dixie’s cultivation, Heliospectra providing cutting edge lighting technology and Dixie’s operational foresight and leadership, this partnership will result in lower operating expenses, through greater cultivation efficiency for Dixie. In addition, Dixie’s customers can feel good knowing that their choice in infused products is backed by a pro-active, environmentally conscious company. This new relationship will also provide American Cannabis with real time access to data flow and Case Studies - further promoting their smart approach to cultivation and assisting their clients with knowledge coming from a commercial, alternative lighting installation. Heliospectra, in turn, will further prove the superiority of their lighting technology to an active customer base via a Dixie case study designed to promote lighting science with a goal of replacing inefficient, energy wasting high intensity discharge (HID) lighting.
“This partnership exemplifies a pro-active approach to technology implementation at Dixie, smart cultivation methodology via American Cannabis and further proof that Heliospectra’s LED grow light technology is a superior alternative to HID/HPS lighting,” added Chris Walker, GM USA Heliospectra AB. “DIXIE will utilize our intelligent software to develop proprietary cannabis strain light recipes for their infused product line.”
“AmericanCannabis is excited to enter into this strategic relationship with two industry leaders in their respective spaces,” stated American Cannabis Company CEO Corey Hollister. “We researched and tested numerous LED lights and have been extremely impressed with the Heliospectra technology. Being able to deploy this technology to advance the operations of a leading company like Dixie Brands, Inc. furthers our goal of achieving reduced cost and optimizing overall operations for our clients and partners.”
