The distribution deal brings two award-winning brands together in the largest cannabis market in the U.S., expanding Sunderstorm's influence as a leader in premium cannabis products and Airo Brands' California retail partnerships

LOS ANGELES, June 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunderstorm Inc, an award-winning family of brands including KANHA edibles, has entered into an agreement to provide full sales and service distribution of AIRO BRANDS, Inc. ("Airo"), a U.S. multi-state CPG company focused on proprietary cannabis products, in California's multi-billion dollar cannabis market — the largest in the world.

Sunderstorm currently distributes its flagship product, the award-winning KANHA gummies, in over 800 retail locations across California. This partnership will expand upon Airo Brands' existing California footprint, increasing its distribution access to additional licensed retailers in the world's largest cannabis market. Sunderstorm's sales and field team consists of 12 key account managers, eight field marketing members, and a distribution infrastructure that includes hubs in the Los Angeles and San Francisco metros, along with a modern fleet of 16 GPS-tagged, climate-controlled trucks.

"Sunderstorm's major investment in sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure will provide immediate benefits for Airo as it enters the California market," says Cameron Clarke, Co-founder and CEO of Sunderstorm. "We have one of the industry's best enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementations, and the reports, systems and technology will give Airo a major advantage over its competitors."

"Sunderstorm is the perfect partner to bring Airo's California distribution to the next level. They share an appreciation for premium quality and innovation, and bring years of expertise in the complex California market," adds Airo Brands CEO Richard Yost. "We share the same commitment to providing unique products and a superior customer experience, breaking through the noise in a very challenging retail landscape."

Airo Brands, a leading U.S. cannabis brand, is currently available across 23 states, Puerto Rico, and soon Europe. Airo's California offerings will include the premium AiroPro and AiroSport vaporizer batteries, along with all five of their 'Series' of AiroPod oil formulations (Artisan, Strain, Live Rosin, Flower, and Live Resin).
