True Leaf Medicine Announces UK Pet Chain Orders True Hemp(TM) Product for All Its 174 Stores

LUXEMBOURG / ACCESSWIRE / August 31, 2016 / True Leaf Pet Europe LLC (CSE: MJ) (FSE: TLA) has achieved a major milestone by securing the first European order for its True Hemp™ pet products. The order comes from PetsCorner®, the second largest pet store chain in the United Kingdom, which will sell the product in all its 174 stores. This order and subsequent production run of True Hemp Pet™ formulations in Germany, officially marks the start of sales and marketing in the European community for True Leaf Pet Europe LLC, a subsidiary of True Leaf Medicine International Ltd. (CSE: MJ) (FSE: TLA).

The sale also means that True Hemp is now generating revenue on two continents – North America and Europe. “We’re on our way to becoming a truly global brand,” said Darcy Bomford, True Leaf Pet CEO.

True Leaf showcased its True Hemp product at Interzoo®, the world’s largest bi-annual exhibition of supplies for pets with 40,000 attendees, held May 26-29 in Nuremberg, Germany.

“Our product was the only hemp-focused pet treat at Interzoo®, and it drew a lot of interest,” said Mr. Bomford. “PetsCorner® was one of those companies.”

Subsequent to Interzoo®, True Leaf established True Leaf Pet Europe LLC headquarters in Luxembourg, and moved ahead with production trials in Germany.

“The PetsCorner® order is a great start to our sales in Europe; they are true innovators in the UK market and we look forward to working with them to grow our brand,” said Mr. Bomford. The True Hemp™ line will be featured in all the chain’s stores. PetsCorner® has plans to expand by another 70 stores by the end of 2017.

Production and sales of the True Hemp™ pet product lineup are already underway in Canada and the US. True Leaf has also recently added e-commerce for direct US consumer purchasing on its trueleaf.com site.
