In a first for Guernsey, local cannabis company The House of Green recently delivered its first purpose-built cannabis extraction system to a processing company in California.
The extraction system was built by its subsidiary company Oak & Crane (Guernsey). Set up in 2016, Oak & Crane was acquired by The House of Green in 2019.
Oak & Crane was asked by a company located in Sacramento, California, to build and supply a complete ‘turn-key’ system that would enable them to run their entire extraction process from plant material through to refined oil.
Designed and manufactured in Guernsey and shipped to California in January, the patented equipment has been specifically created for ethanol extraction of cannabinoids from the cannabis plant and can also be used for other distillation processes.
Once in the US, the apparatus was met by trained Oak & Crane staff who installed the system and provided follow-up consultations to ensure everything was running smoothly.
“We’re proud to have been the first company in the Channel Islands to provide this service,” said Gary Tucker, Director of Oak & Crane.
“As a company, we have a wealth of experience and technical knowledge of the cannabis industry and with our design and manufacturing base in Guernsey we are in a unique position to access and service clients in Europe, the UK and America.
“We will continue to develop our systems as the CBD and cannabis processing industry evolves on this side of the Atlantic, ensuring that we stay at the forefront of the sector.”
The House of Green’s Group CEO, Paul Smith, added: “As the cannabis industry expands throughout the UK and Europe, we see significant potential for the growth of this element of our business.”
