BOULDER, Colorado and SAN DIEGO, California—June 16, 2015—Shift Cannabis Company and Innovative Solutions today announced a dynamic alliance that teams the market-leading strengths of each company to transform the medical cannabis industry. Through the use of the Puradigm cutting edge technology, used to manage and control microbial, mold, and pathogen growth during indoor cultivation, these two companies are tackling head-on one of the most prominent and pertinent issues facing the commercial cannabis industry today.

The alliance aims to redefine the way medical cannabis growers produce product using the advanced Puradigm technology to purify the air and surfaces in the grow environment. Working together Shift Cannabis Co. and Innovative Solutions will be able to address key cannabis industry cultivating challenges including:

• Controlling microbial and pathogens throughout the production facility
• Purifying air and surfaces in grow rooms for clean flower development

With over a decade of commercial, regulated cannabis cultivation expertise, and over fifteen years of combined experience in cannabis organizational management including Lean and Six-Sigma Processing, their leadership team only utilizes products that work. When asked about his corporate culture Travis Howard, Founder and General Manager of Shift, had this to say, “As a former attorney I was used to being able to test theories against long-standing case law so I made sure our team had test gardens, places where they could break and fix, infect and clean, really put inventions to work under real-life demanding circumstances. If we haven’t used it, effectively, we don’t consult it. Period.”

Shift works with clients to help them design cultivation facilities and processes to achieve their goals in the cannabis industry. “We have conducted our own due diligence of this technology by using the Puradigm products in grow rooms that have had significant pathogen and mildew problems. The technology did an amazing job of resolving the problems by attacking the problem areas, controlling the CFU levels and producing clean cannabis product. This technology is vital at a time when the use of pesticides is being eliminated. It is clear that the medical cannabis industry is going to continue to increase regulations to control CFU levels to improve product quality, so implementation of this technology is very timely and we are happy to have it at our disposal”, states Reed Porter, Principal and Director of Consultancy at Shift Cannabis Co.
