International, Inc. has been trying to identify ways to broaden is
international footprint. “We are looking forward to Hemp, Inc.’s consulting
company help us navigate this burgeoning industry. Bruce Perlowin has always been a pioneer and
knows every nook and cranny of the industrial hemp and medical marijuana
industry. Our research showed he was years ahead of everyone in recognizing the
many application of the hemp plant coupled with the enormous economic
opportunity. The world is just beginning to catch up with his insight,” says
Haviland.
According to Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc. “The quality and innovativeness of VaporBrands’ products have not been seen in the industrial hemp and medical marijuana sector and thus fills a huge void.”
"I had the opportunity to sit down with Ms. Haviland and I was quite impressed with her Company and the plans that she has to introduce products infused with hemp into the marketplace over the short term. We believe that the ultimate economic opportunity that is being created by the new legislation regarding hemp farming is incalculable. Hemp oil, seeds and fiber can be used in many different products and it makes the products better, stronger and greener than the current products on the market,” said Perlowin.
Having Hemp, Inc.'s (OTC: HEMP) guidance during this great time of growth and expansion for VaporBrands International, will allow the company to take advantage of the opportunity existing in the industrial hemp and medical marijuana sector. "I believe the public has confidence in the strength and direction of our Company which is creating an influx of business opportunities and potential relationships for VaporBrands," said CEO, Wendy Haviland.
The Industrial Hemp and Medical Marijuana Consulting Company, Inc. (IHMMCC), is well-entrenched and connected in the industrial hemp sector.
