HYTN and A1 Cannabis Forge Partnership to Expand Cannabis Beverage Production

LOS ANGELES- HYTN Innovations Inc., a company specializing in pharmaceutical-grade cannabis manufacturing, has entered into a three-year collaboration with A1 Cannabis Inc., the owner of Summit Cannabis Beverages. This partnership aims to enhance operational efficiency and broaden the market presence of both companies in the cannabis beverage sector.

Under the terms of the agreement, A1 Cannabis will transition its entire product portfolio from Tilray Brands to HYTN. In return, A1 will provide sales management services, while HYTN will supply the necessary facilities, licenses, and qualifications for ongoing product development within its licensed infrastructure. The agreements were formalized on February 5, 2025.

Cole Miller, CEO of A1 Cannabis, will oversee HYTN’s domestic product sales forecasting, product development, and sales management for its 5 mg and 10 mg Sparkling Beverages and 100 mg Nano Shots. His role is designed to optimize market reach and drive revenue growth, with compensation structured as a revenue-sharing model for all A1/Summit-branded products.

In 2022, A1 reported sales of over 600,000 units of Summit Beverages, which are currently available in more than 300 retailers nationwide. HYTN has begun the process of registering A1’s product portfolio and anticipates securing initial purchase orders for Summit-branded products by the second quarter of 2025.

This collaboration is not a joint venture; HYTN will handle the registration, manufacturing, revenue collection, and sales of A1 products under its own licenses and approvals. Meanwhile, A1 retains the rights to its brands, product formulations, and all related intellectual property.

Elliot McKerr, CEO of HYTN, stated, “Integrating A1 into HYTN is an important advancement in scaling our domestic business.” Cole Miller added, “This collaboration is expected to allow A1 to streamline its operations while benefiting from HYTN’s manufacturing capabilities.”

This partnership aligns with HYTN’s strategy to improve operational efficiency and expand its footprint in the cannabis market, leveraging its licensed infrastructure to support scalable growth.
