Zenabis Global Inc. was a Canadian medical and recreational marijuana producer.

History

Zenabis was originally known by the name International Herbs Medical Marijuana Ltd. and was co-founded by Monty Sikka and Mark Catroppa.[1] It purchased its first facility in 2014 in New Brunswick and received a cultivation license from Health Canada in 2017.[2] Zenabis received its sales license for dried marijuana from Health Canada in 2018,[1] and received its license to sell cannabis oil in March 2019.[3][4] In January 2019, Zenabis’s parent company Sun Pharm completed a reverse take-over of Bevo Agro Inc., leading to the two firms operating under the banner of Zenabis Global Inc.[5] The company was traded on the TSX under the ticker symbol ZENA.

Like all medical marijuana companies in Canada, Zenabis has struggled on the stock market.[6] The company was acquired by HEXO Corp in 2021 in an all-stock deal.[7]
