EcoGen Closes on $40 Million Private Placement

US-based company, EcoGen Labs, is continuing to expand and grow as it successfully closes on a $40 financing arrangement through private placement. 

EcoGen Labs is a vertically-integrated, seed-to-sale manufacturer and supplier of specialty hemp-derived ingredients and proprietary formulas in the United States. The company also produces private-label finished product, as well as providing unique genetics.

Since its launch in 2016, the company has expanded rapidly, producing over $80 million in revenue last year. EcoGen supplies nearly 70% of the ingredients used in various retailers across the US, including Whole Foods, Sephora, and CVS Health Corp.

Alexis Korybut, the Co-Founder of EcoGen says “We are very encouraged by the strong support we’ve received from the institutional marketplace. This investment is an important step forward that will allow us to further grow and expand our business.”

EcoGen has a solid strategy for the utilization of this transaction, the plans include supporting the further development of its facilities, focusing on its research and development, and the expansion of marketing and sales divisions. Advancing the company’s seed and genetics, the expansion of private-label finished goods, and new technologies are also on the agenda for EcoGen.

“With engineering as a passion and also my background, the prospect of new innovation is what led me to this industry,” says Joseph Nunez, Co-Founder of EcoGen. “When we first started, we were on a mission to create a state-of-the-art process to produce exceptionally pure CBD that set the standard for the industry. We’re proud to say that goal was quickly achieved and this capital raise will allow us to expand that success into other verticals of the business.”

EcoGen also has plans to develop their new national headquarters on a nearly-20 acre property located in Grand Junction, Colorado. When development is complete it will include everything from seed production to the making of CBD products.
