Herbolea Biotech SpA (« Herbolea »), an Italian biotech company leader in the development of solventless extraction technologies, and Laso-Bio, a new biotech company affiliated to leading Maroccan healthcare company Promamec, are delighted to announce a strategic partnership and licensing agreement that will shape the nascent hemp and cannabis extraction industries in Morocco.
Under this landmark agreement, Laso-Bio will gain rights to utilize Herbolea’s cutting-edge extraction and purification technologies in Morocco, enabling Laso-Bio to lead the path in the sustainable hemp extraction in the region. The collaboration will leverage Herbolea’s expertise and advanced technologies to ensure the production of high-quality extracts both for the internal and the international markets.
At the core of this partnership is the integration of Herbolea’s pioneering technologies, Bio-Herbolysis™, Hydrocan™ and Distillac™ which enable an environmentally friendly extraction of active principles.
The Bio-Herbolysis™ technology empowers Laso-Bio to extract the full phyto-complex of the plant into a lipid base from fresh, never dried or frozen material, a process known as wet processing. This innovative approach eliminates the need for drying, preserving the plant’s original attributes and enhancing the overall quality of the extracted compounds.
Furthermore, Herbolea’s Hydrocan™ technology selectively concentrates cannabinoids to over 90% potency, while effectively remediating THC, ensuring compliance with the legal threshold throughout the entire extraction process. This breakthrough extraction method allows Laso-Bio to produce highly potent and compliant hemp extracts that meet the stringent European market requirements.
To support Laso-Bio’s operations, Herbolea will deliver state-of-the-art equipment with a processing capacity of over 400,000 kilograms of fresh biomass per year, this equipment will empower Laso-Bio to conduct their extraction operations efficiently and sustainably.
