LONDON, December 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

So far, a few big hitters have gotten all the attention in the marijuana boom, riding the Green Wave to double-digit growth during 2018. But a much smaller company is about to make a huge impact. Mentioned in today's commentary includes: The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. (OTC:SPRWF) (TSX.V:FIRE), MedMen Enterprises Inc. (OTC:MMNFF) (CSE:MMEN), Aphria (NYSE:APHA) (TSX:APHA), The Green Organic Dutchman (OTC:TGODF) (TSX:TGOD), Molson Coors (NYSE:TAP) (TSX:TPX-A).

Wayland Group (WAYL,MRRCF) is a vertically-integrated cannabis producer. Like the other heavy hitters of the industry, such as Cronos Group and Canopy Growth Corp., Wayland focuses on cultivating cannabis for delivery to markets around the world. But Wayland has a secret. While Cronos and Canopy get all the attention, Wayland has been quietly perfecting production methods that are aiming to be the most efficient in the world.

By harnessing cutting edge tech, including the latest advancements in AI and automation, Wayland have cut the costs of cultivation down so low their gross margins are forecast to be staggering. This makes Wayland the biggest un-told story in the business.

Harnessing superior tech to beat out the competition is the reason this company aims to become the most profitable in Cannabis. And Wayland Group, by focusing on efficiency first and foremost, is aiming to pull off a Cannabis 2.0 miracle of its own.


#1 Huge Potential Profit in a $150 Billion Market by 2025  

From their main production center in Canada, Wayland (WAYL,MRRCF) can produce cannabis for 60 cents per gram, and 5 cents per gram in Latin America. Wayland can sell the same type of product to EU markets where it sells for C$16 per gram. And with the global medical cannabis market projected to be $150 billion by 2025, the potential for future profit is immense.

Wayland has global reach. It can produce in North America and Europe, has just signed contracts to take over assets in Latin America, and can move product to markets around the world.


#2 How They Do It 

There are four keys to Wayland's (WAYL,MRRCF) highly profitable business plans:

1) Operational Efficiency: They Only Use a fraction of the Staff Traditional Growers Need 

Wayland collects every scrap of data from its cultivation process and feeds it into an Artificially Intelligent Master Grower. The company's Canadian growing facilities require a staff of only 26 people-compared to the 500 or so needed to run the operations of some other big-time producers. That's a fraction of the staff that traditional growers need... and it keeps production costs down.

2) Automation Efficiency: Partnership with Rockwell Automation 

The AI Master Grower is powered by Rockwell Automation, and Wayland is the first cannabis company to embrace automation as a key feature of the cultivation process. With a tiny staff of 26 employees, Wayland can run an entire complex capable of producing thousands of grams of cannabis for export. That brings production costs way, way down. At the Langton facility in Canada, Wayland deploys the AI Master Grower to oversee 365,000 square feet and a potential annual capacity of 65,000 kilos.

3) Energy Efficiency: 88%-To-Net-Zero 

Their facilities are powered by natural gas co-generation, and they utilize recycled water for their hydroponics, which cuts down on waste that can accumulate from bad growth practices. The Langton facility has been categorized as "88-percent-to-net-zero," meaning that it doesn't have to rely much on external sources of water and power. A natural gas well on-site means electric charges have been reduced from $0.20/kilowatt hour to $0.05/kilowatt hour.

4) Technological Breakthroughs: Improving Profit Margins 

Wayland has deployed VESIsorb medical tech for its cannabis products. When cannabinoids are ingested, they enter the body but tend to get clumped in the digestive system, interfering with absorption and diminishing the overall effect. VESIsorb disperses the CBD molecules so they're easier to absorb, providing higher and more immediate levels of CBD absorption.

#3 From Zero to 95,000,000 Grams in 2020? 

Wayland is planning to step up production as we head in to 2019. Thanks to mass automation, the company believes it can quickly ramp up output: from just 2,400 kilos in 2018, Wayland intends to be producing 36,000 kilos in 2019, and within a year that figure is planned to climb to 95,000 kilos. And that's just from the company's Canadian facilities.

In Switzerland, Wayland plans to soon be producing 14,000 kilos of CBD product, and another 120,000 kilos out of Germany. When concentrated, all that output results in about 15,000 kilos of CBD isolate.

Global demand could be as high as $150 billion by 2025. The customer base for medical marijuana has grown by leaps and bounds.

#4 One of Only 5 in the World 

Wayland has a big head-start over other potential competitors. It's an approved GMP certified producer in the EU, one of only five, along with Canopy Growth Corp., Cronos Group, Tilray and Aurora. Of those five companies, Wayland is the only one not trading above a $5 billion market cap.

Instead, Wayland is still relatively small. Its market cap is around $250 million, but its potential output and its profit margins should make it a very worthy competitor to many of its larger rivals.

#5 From $4 Million to $100 Million in 2019 

Right now, Wayland's (WAYL,MRRCF) revenue stream is small: only about $4 million. But from $4 million this year, Wayland expects to bring enough product to market to realize $100 million in sales next year.

While Canopy, Tilray and Cronos Group got big fast, Wayland is taking its time. And investors have already started to notice. In 2019, cannabis will enter the mainstream. Demand is set to grow. And Wayland's low production costs will give it an edge over its competitors.
