GenCanna

What GenCanna does

GenCanna is a U.S.-headquartered contract manufacturer and white-label supplier of health, wellness, and beauty products, founded in 2011 and based in Winchester, Kentucky, with a staff of 51–100. Following the 2021 acquisitions of Taylor Mammon and London-based CBD Capital Ltd, the company repositioned under the GenLabs brand (genlabs.health) to operate as an international manufacturing and supply-chain partner with facilities in the USA, UK, and EU (Rotterdam), serving brands, retailers, CMOs, and wholesalers in the ingestible and topical supplement categories.

The company's core offering is a two-tier manufacturing platform: a ready-made white-label finished-goods catalog — including gummies, tinctures and oil drops, softgels, topicals, skincare, shilajit, and drink concentrates — designed for speed-to-market and lower minimum order quantities for emerging brands; and a custom formulation/new product development service for differentiated, need-state-targeted products. Underlying capabilities include bottling, supply chain management, and 3PL/direct-to-consumer fulfillment, marketed as an end-to-end brand-operations partner. The USA facility is cGMP-certified, FDA-registered, and supported by GRAS-tested ingredients and USDA Organic inputs, with UK and EU operations held to corresponding international quality regulations.

GenCanna generates revenue through contract manufacturing fees, white-label product sales, custom formulation project work, and logistics/fulfillment service charges. Its go-to-motion targets four customer archetypes — emerging brands, scaling brands, retailers, and wholesale/CMO partners — across North America and Europe. The 2018 MariMed-led $30M funding round and the 2021 European expansion (CBD Capital acquisition + Rotterdam facility) underpin the company's current international production footprint.
