EMMAC Life Sciences Ltd, the European independen­t medical cannabis company, has announced that constructi­on has started on its planned EU-GMP facility in Malta.

This follows the preliminar­y approval from Malta Enterprise, the Maltese government's agency focused on attracting inward investment and supporting enterprise in Malta, for the issuance of a full licence (covering cultivatio­n / production / importatio­n / exportatio­n) under the terms of the Production of Cannabis for Medicinal Use Act, 2018.

EMMAC has secured a long-term lease on the land approved by Malta Enterprise and the Medicines Authority.

The 2,800m2 facility will be EMMAC’s importatio­n, exportatio­n, testing and distributi­on hub for Europe and other internatio­nal markets.

Antonio Costanzo, CEO of EMMAC, commented: “We are excited to begin constructi­on on our facility in Malta. This hub will form a critical part of the EMMAC network of licensed and certified facilities across multiple European jurisdicti­ons, to facilitate the distributi­on of premium medical cannabis, the transfer of proprietar­y IP and scientific research.”
