Althea Group Holdings

What Althea Group Holdings does

Althea Group Holdings, operating under the trading name Peak Processing (ASX: PKP), is an Australian-listed cannabis product solutions company headquartered in Melbourne. The company provides end-to-end B2B services to the legal cannabis industry, spanning market insights and analysis, custom product development, scalable manufacturing, commercialization support, distribution, and product rework. Its customers include established industry leaders seeking to maintain competitive edge and start-ups entering the cannabis market that lack internal formulation, manufacturing, and regulatory expertise.

The company manufactures and supplies seven distinct cannabis product categories — beverages, hydrocarbon extracts, vapes, oils, topicals, powder, and infused flower — using specialized formulation, extraction, and infusion processes. These products are sold to brand clients who rely on Peak as a contract manufacturer and commercialization partner rather than as a consumer-facing brand of its own.

The business model is professional services plus contract manufacturing revenue: clients engage Peak for tailored product development and manufacturing projects with pricing provided via custom quotes rather than public rate cards. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by a corporate website, LinkedIn, and Twitter/X presence, with an active investor relations function reflecting its ASX listing. With 51-100 employees, ongoing operating losses across 2021-2025, and a portfolio pivot from cannabis medicines and CPG into B2B services under the Peak Processing brand, the company is operating as a small-cap, pre-profitability cannabis contract manufacturer in a regulated and capital-intensive industry.
