TILT furthers its cross-selling strategy by expanding its partnership with top-selling cannabis inhalation brand

TILT Holdings Inc. (“TILT” or the “Company”) (NEO: TILT) (OTCQX: TLLTF), a global provider of cannabis business solutions that include inhalation technologies, cultivation, manufacturing, processing, brand development and retail, today announced the expansion of its partnership with Airo Brands, Inc. (“AIRO”), a multi-state consumer packaged goods company focused on proprietary inhalation products, beyond its current manufacturing and distribution agreement in Pennsylvania to include Massachusetts. An early client of TILT’s subsidiary Jupiter Research, LLC (“Jupiter”) since 2016, Airo also licenses exclusive Jupiter products and collaborates on proprietary inhalation technologies.

AIRO products are currently available in Massachusetts as the company transitions to TILT subsidiary, Commonwealth Alternative Care to take over production and distribution. A leader in the cannabis inhalation space, AIRO is one of the top-selling brands in several markets including Nevada, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland and Washington. Airo is available in more than 1,250 dispensaries across the United States and Puerto Rico. Through this expanded partnership, TILT will distribute popular AIRO products including the AIROPro®, AIROSport™, and AIROX® featuring formulations from AIRO’s Strain Series, Artisan Series, and Live Flower Series, plus additional products throughout the year.

“We are thrilled to expand our agreement with AIRO and support them as their Massachusetts partner,” said Gary Santo, CEO of TILT. “Our brand partners are an essential pillar of TILT’s commitment to not only help established brands expand, but to provide patients and customers with differentiated, high-quality products they can trust. Expanding AIRO to another market demonstrates our commitment to offering brands differentiated services that go beyond standard contract manufacturing and deliver meaningful results for their business and expansion goals.”

AIRO CEO Richard Yost added: “Given our history of success with TILT as our partner, it was an easy decision to expand our contract with them into Massachusetts. With TILT’s manufacturing and distribution expertise, we are now better positioned to efficiently increase our market share and brand awareness throughout the state.”
