“Our US licensee has successfully launched four of Ovation’s products in Nevada under the brand BASKiN with an excellent consumer response. We are excited that they have now signed multiple distribution agreements which will expand consumer access to our products in the United States,” said Terry Howlett, President of Ovation. “This adds immediate royalty revenue and shareholder value and we look forward to their continued success.”
“With creams, teas and bath bombs, BASKIN Essentials offers a product variety for the wellness consumer. Dominating sales across Nevada for the vast majority of 2019, we are thrilled to expand BASKIN’s distribution and product availability to consumers nationwide,” said Jeffry Paul, Vice President & Director of Sales for Cannabiniers. “BASKIN products are made with high-quality ingredients, backed by science, and proven to work.”

We are fully aligned with BASKIN in setting and delivering on this high standard for all their CBD products.”
