VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Auxly Cannabis Group Inc. (TSX.V – XLY) (“Auxly”) and Kindred Partners Inc. (“Kindred”) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a brokerage agreement pursuant to which Kindred will act as Auxly’s exclusive sales agent for its adult-use cannabis products in Canada.
Kindred, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Breakthru Beverage Group, is a Toronto-based specialty cannabis brokerage serving the adult-use market.

Kindred will provide its brokerage services to Auxly and use its national presence to market the company’s portfolio of brands nationwide. Auxly is well positioned to be a leader in the Canadian cannabis market, as consumers across the country will have access to Auxly’s innovative cannabis products under its four in-house brands – Dosecann, Kolab, Robinsons and Foray.
“We are excited to work with the innovative team at Auxly to help them execute on their route-to-market and retail sales strategy,” said Dave Prodanovic, VP and General Manager, Kindred. “Kindred has an experienced, best-in-class sales team, supported by scaled services and technology, to help Auxly grow their brands and attract customers and consumers across Canada.”
