Clayton Chessa has been working in the Canadian cannabis industry for nearly 10 years, developing a keen sense for the nuances and specifics of this booming industry. This firsthand experience has given Mr. Chessa the opportunity to transition into consultancy services where he has guided industry operators in areas such as financial and managerial systems and consultation on growing, testing, extracting, distribution and general operations within the sector. Mr. Chessa brings a unique skill set to Abattis and an educated view on the current landscape surrounding the legal cannabis industry in Canada.

With the recent announcement of the exclusive distribution agreement with Suzhou Raybot Material Tech Corp. ("Raybot"), Abattis is positioning itself to capitalize on the sales of various extracts including THC and CBD, which are growing exponentially versus the sales of dried cannabis. According to an article in Forbes magazine, the sales of just CBD extracts alone will top $ 3 Billion USD by 2021. As licensed producers shift their focus from selling dried cannabis to higher margin extracted products, Abattis' intends to be a leader in extraction technology and be the lead provider of equipment and services to the cannabis sector. The Company will leverage its testing, formulation, extraction and sales expertise to offer one-stop testing, processing and manufacturing to the entire cannabis market.
