"We’ve taken what was a successful, regional agricultural supply company for the cannabis industry and created a scalable resource for commercial cultivators across the country," said Ken Alston, CEO of Hydroponics Inc. "We recognize the importance of the professional, agricultural supply chain - expanding traditional markets while delivering superior products and services. Cultivators must have reliable data and analytics. We look forward to additional investments so our customers can raise consumer perception of their brands and increase profitability."
