First Legal Medical Cannabis Vaporizer Brand in UK Selects AVD Hardware For Launch

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AVD (Advanced Vapor Devices), a leading vertically integrated manufacturer and distributor of cannabis vaporizer technology, today announced that its hardware has been selected for the launch of the first legal, British-born brand of UK-formulated medical cannabis extracts.

The new brand, Vida Vapes, is being launched in partnership between IPS Pharma and Grow Group in response to continued demand for vape products.

Clare Holliday, head of medical cannabis UK at IPS Pharma clarified the decision to select AVD hardware, stating, "We recognized a significant demand for extract vaporizer products in the UK market. The Vida product line was developed based on feedback from patients, pharmacies and clinicians. We opted for AVD's hardware for its track record across North America of industry-leading performance, adherence to international manufacturing standards, supply chain efficiency and positive patient experience."

“Vida Vapes' partnership with AVD comes at the perfect moment to meet a burgeoning demand for concentrate products in the UK's medical cannabis market,” said Michael Brosgart, chief operating officer of AVD. “AVD set the bar for next-generation vape technology and is committed to quality and safety, manufacturing products that are consistently reliable and meet the requirements of our clients and patients alike. IPS Pharma adopting our products for their pharmaceutical manufacturing operations in the United Kingdom is a testament to that commitment.”

“Vaporizer devices play a crucial role in the development of inhaled cannabis medicines, in the UK and beyond. I’m pleased to see UK pharmacies working hard to locate the best partners to launch new and improved medicine ranges for patients,” said Dr Sunny Nayee, clinical lead and pain consultant at Integro Clinic in the UK.
