Look at the numbers from Q3 2025: the Canadian cannabis operations, which rely heavily on this know-how, delivered net sales of \u003cstrong\u003e$46.6 million\u003c\/strong\u003e and a record gross margin of \u003cstrong\u003e56%\u003c\/strong\u003e.

They are actively using this skill to scale up their Canadian footprint and their European presence. For instance, their Netherlands operation, Leli Holland, reached full capacity in Q3 2025, generating \u003cstrong\u003e$3.6 million\u003c\/strong\u003e in sales. Plus, they are on schedule to bring a second, larger Dutch facility online in Q1 2026, which is set to quintuple that capacity.
