Americas Largest Hemp Processing Facility & Milling Operation Nearing Completion — Hemp, Inc. Update

LAS VEGAS, NV–(Marketwired – Jul 20, 2016) – Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP) executives are pleased to update shareholders on the progress of the much-anticipated completion of the country’s largest industrial hemp processing facility and milling operation. Hemp, Inc.‘s decortication facility, spearheaded by its wholly owned subsidiary, Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC (IHM), is in the final stages of completion. “Industrial hemp is reclaiming its rightful place in America as demand for this environmentally friendly natural fiber continues to increase due to the economic benefits. Hemp, Inc. is strategically positioned at the forefront of this industry. We are definitely ahead of the curve in being able to process industrial hemp and manufacture products made from hemp,” said David Schmitt, COO of IHM.

According to Schmitt, the hemp processing plant which will have assembled the industry-leading hemp processing machinery is expected to be officially completed soon with a skilled team of employees on deck. “This morning, we are positioning the milling machinery in its permanent location so that it can be secured into place. We also have meetings at the end of this week with the air handler manufacturer to ascertain when we can expect the machinery on-site. Once the air handler and dust collector are on-site, we’re looking to hire specialized contractors to assist with securing all of the equipment in place, which should save us over 3 to 4 weeks in time. While I can’t say the exact date of when the air handler and dust collector will be onsite, once it is here, my best guestimate would be 3 weeks for us to have both mills operational.”

Once the milling machinery is operational, Hemp, Inc. will be able to produce their Lost Circulation Materials (LCMs) and other oil absorbent products. “Our 70,000 square foot commercial industrial hemp processing facility and milling operation, on 9 acres makes Hemp, Inc. the largest industrial hemp processor and manufacturer in America and with the addition of our milling facility to produce other hemp-based products, we have strategically expanded our worldwide industrial base,” said Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP).

Now that the amended hemp bill has been signed into law in North Carolina, home to Hemp, Inc.’s industrial hemp processing facility, the North Carolina Hemp Commission now has the power to write the rules and approve them. Shareholders can expect lucrative business opportunities for Hemp, Inc. In the Spring of 2017, the company is looking to possibly grow and harvest a very large hemp crop on up to 50,000 acres which can all be processed at Hemp, Inc.’s industrial hemp processing facility.

“As mentioned in our press release yesterday, we expect Congress to remove industrial hemp from the Federal Controlled Substances Act very soon, which would declassify it as a Schedule 1 drug because it’s not. Hemp is a plant from the cannabis family like marijuana but possesses a very low THC content and you cannot get high by smoking it. Hemp is not marijuana and it has a plethora of uses,” said Perlowin.

ABOUT INDUSTRIAL HEMP

Hemp is a durable natural fiber that is grown as a renewable source for raw materials that can be incorporated into thousands of products. It’s one of the oldest domesticated crops known to man. Hemp is used as a nutritional food product for humans and pets, building materials, paper, textiles, cordage, organic body care and other nutraceuticals, just to name a few. It has thousands of other known uses. A hemp crop requires half the water alfalfa uses and can be grown without the heavy use of pesticides. Farmers worldwide grow hemp commercially for fiber, seed, and oil for use in a variety of industrial and consumer products. The United States is the only developed nation that fails to cultivate industrial hemp as an economic crop on a large scale, according to the Congressional Resource Service. However, with rapidly changing laws and more states gravitating towards industrial hemp and passing an industrial hemp bill, that could change. Currently, the majority of hemp sold in the United States is imported from China and Canada, the world’s largest exporters of the industrial hemp crop.

HEMP, INC.’S TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE

Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP) seeks to benefit many constituencies from a “Cultural Creative” perspective, thereby not exploiting or endangering any group. CEO of Hemp, Inc., Bruce Perlowin, is positioning the company as a leader in the industrial hemp industry, with a social and environmental mission at its core. Thus, the publicly traded company believes in “up streaming” a portion of its profits back to its originator, in which some cases will one day be the American small farmer — cultivating natural, sustainable products as an interwoven piece of nature. By Hemp, Inc. focusing on comprehensive investment results — that is, with respect to performance along the interrelated dimensions of people, planet, and profits — the triple bottom line approach can be an important tool to support its sustainability goal.
