“We are excited to participate in CPHI & PMEC 2023, and we look forward to showcasing our CANNASEN® brand and products for the Asian and Chinese markets.  We have great expectations for this fair both in regard to potential sales and new partners.”

Rongshi Medica (Ordos) Co., Ltd. is a joint venture between CS MEDICA (49%) and RongShi Hi-Tech Co., Ltd.(51%). The JV is responsible for setting up a production line for the CANNASEN products and to cater the Asian market. The production site will be established in Erdos, Inner Mongolia, in accordance with EU-GMP standards and ISO13485 standards including the gel production line, patch production line, and inhaler production line. RongShi is responsible for all capital investments of the JV including the land, construction, equipment, installation, etc. of all production lines and CS MEDICA is responsible for the approval of the CANNASEN® product line by the Chinese FDA, all technology, R&D, and the technology related to the JV's production lines.

The JV was established together with an investment agreement of mDKK 60[1] under the following arrangements:

  • The JV is the exclusive partner of CS MEDICA in Asia excluding India.
  • The JV uses Cannasen® CBD as its brand.  New packaging adapted to the Asian market will be designed jointly by the two shareholders.
  • The JV will market and sell CANNASEN® MD and cosmetic products in Asia. Until the production site has been established, the JV will sell registered and approved CANNASEN products produced by CS MEDICA and sold to the JV. The products will be registered and approved in each Asian country they are marketed in. The registration process and market penetration will commence first in Asian countries with the least restrictive cannabis approval processes. The first pilot markets will be Thailand and Japan.

The strategic arrangements of the JV are now in progress,

  • RongShi has started the initial preparations for production line-related matters, such as the feasibility study report, environmental impact assessment report, energy assessment report, land, etc.
  • RongShi has submitted the application for the "Certificate of Enterprise's Overseas Investment" (money transfer fulfilling the Investment Agreement[1]) to the relevant government agencies.
  • CS MEDICA is in progress with all documents required for the production line of the JV, such as technical documents, production line design, equipment list, budget and technology transfer contract, etc.
  • CS MEDICA, assisted by R&G Pharmastudies CO. Ltd agency in China, has initiated the China FDA approval process for its MD CANNASEN® product line.  The agency will align its application process against an earlier attained Chinese FDA approval of two MD Class I CBD products.

    If the products are Classified as Class I Medical Devices by the China National Medical Products Administration, the registration and approval time will take approximately 3 months; If the products are classified as Class II Medical Devices by the China National Medical Products Administration, the registration and approval time can take up to 12 months.
  • The JV will attend two fairs in the upcoming quarters.
