Company Enters Geometrically Growing Industry Leveraging Relationships and Knowledge
LAKE ELSINORE, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 11, 2014) - IDS Industries, Inc. (OTCQB: IDST) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Propel Management Group, Inc (PMG) has entered an agreement to acquire MiCannaLabs.com, a privately-held commercial company providing various lab services to the cannabis and hemp industries. MiCannaLabs.com's customer base ranges from government agencies to non-profits, businesses as well as individuals, growers, dispensaries, collectives, patients and others that may desire their services. MiCannaLabs.com has coined the expression "Know What You Grow." The deal merges the Company's existing relationships with those of the Michigan-based 3 year old business that has been dedicated to providing services to an industry that is becoming more commercial, accepted and mature.
The deal is scheduled to be finalized within sixty (60) days and retains the services of the company's current management and staff to operate and expand the business. PMG will provide world-class contract and management expertise while providing multi-channel marketing to expand the client base's breadth and depth.
Scott Plantinga, President of PMG said, "The acquisition of MiCannaLabs.com is a small yet strategic step to enter a market space with hyper growth. This deal provides our shareholders a huge potential for added value from the tremendous synergies between the Company's relationships and knowledge garnered from its businesses along with that of MiCannaLabs.com." Mr. Plantinga added, "Given the growing support of medical marijuana and 13 more states considering various types of legislation to legitimize the use of marijuana this year, we believe now is the time to begin to enter this marketplace more formally."
The Company believes this market sector represents a significant opportunity for growth and revenue expansion and stated it will continue to seek other market opportunities that will drive long term revenue and build value for its shareholders.
