New Industry Aims to Create U.S. Manufacturing Jobs While Supporting Colombian Farmers Transitioning to Legal, High-Value Hemp Production
CALI, COLOMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / November 26, 2025 / Sannabis, Inc., f/k/a Ultimate Sports, Inc. (OTC:USPS), a U.S. Company (the "Company") planning to acquire Sannabis S.A.S ("Sannabis") in Colombia, is pleased to announce plans to construct two industrial hemp block manufacturing plants-one in Barranquilla, Colombia, and another in Central Georgia, USA-to produce next-generation structural hemp blocks engineered with up to 33+ MPa load-bearing resistance. To the Company's knowledge, no other hemp block on the global market approaches this strength class; most hempcrete blocks range between 0.2 and 5 MPa, according to industry benchmarks. Use the Media Contact below to request Sannabis Hemp Block Engineering Tests and photos.
These plants will support both domestic and export markets and will be developed in conjunction with Sannabis' academic and engineering partner. The company is preparing to file a patent in Colombia and other countries-covering its proprietary blend, processing methodology, and block architecture. Sannabis plans to export hemp hurd from Barranquilla to Savannah, GA to blend with U.S. kaolin and export to all parts of the World, with an emphasis on the Middle East. Long term plans include manufacturing hemp boards for pre-fabricated housing.
Breakthrough: 33 MPa Hemp Block Verified in Engineering Tests
Engineering documentation produced with Sannabis' research team highlights the following:
Leading global hemp blocks typically measure 0.22-4.5 MPa
(IsoHemp, Tectonics, GoHemp, UK Hempcrete)Traditional concrete blocks often reach 7-12 MPa
Sannabis Hemp Block: 33 MPa, exceeding both hempcrete and many conventional masonry blocks
Meets Colombian construction standards NSR-10, NTC 220, NTC 121, and NTC 4050
The block formulation uses hemp hurd combined with kaolin or lime binders, depending on customer fire-rating or thermal-rating requirements. Kaolin, which melts at 1800°C, offers exceptional thermal stability, fire resistance, acoustic insulation, humidity control, and structural integrity.
Two Hempcrete Plants: Colombia & USA
1. Barranquilla, Colombia - Export Hub
The first plant will serve:
The Colombian construction markets
Export markets-initially Florida, then wider U.S. Gulf markets
Long-term: exporting hemp hurd to Savannah, Georgia, for blending with U.S. kaolin for re-export to the Middle East
Create a new industry for economic development for both the U.S. and Colombia
Barranquilla offers deep-water port access, a free-trade zone ecosystem, and proximity to Colombian hemp cultivation regions.
2. Central Georgia, USA - Kaolin Corridor
Sannabis intends to build a second facility in Central Georgia:
Located on land owned by a Sannabis, Inc. shareholder in the heart of the Kaolin Corridor
Positioned adjacent to one of the largest kaolin mining operations in the United States
Will blend Sannabis hemp hurd (Colombia) with Georgia kaolin
Targeting developers, sustainable builders, and international markets focused on fire-resistant materials
A Binational Project with Geopolitical Impact
In addition to its industrial and environmental significance, Sannabis believes this project can serve as a powerful economic bridge between the United States and Colombia at a time of heightened geopolitical tension. By establishing a cross-border supply chain-Colombian hemp hurd feeding U.S. kaolin-based production, and U.S.-Colombian block manufacturing serving global markets-the Company hopes to help reset the conversation between both nations around shared economic opportunity, sustainability, and innovation.
This initiative represents an emerging new industry where each country contributes its unique natural resources-Colombia's agricultural capacity and the United States' mineral and industrial infrastructure-to export a next-generation, carbon-negative building material to the world. The project has potential to create significant new employment in the U.S. manufacturing and logistics sectors, while providing Colombian farmers with a profitable, legal, and sustainable crop alternative that supports rural development and reduces reliance on illicit activities that historically strain the binational relationship.
Hemp offers Colombian growers a high-value crop with the potential to transform agricultural regions affected by economic instability. By integrating Colombian farmers directly into a global supply chain built around patented green-construction materials, Sannabis hopes to contribute to long-term peace-building, rural stability, and enhanced diplomatic cooperation.
"Sustainable industries have the power to reshape international relationships," a Sannabis spokesperson added. "A U.S.-Colombia hempcrete partnership strengthens both countries economically while advancing a carbon-negative solution the world urgently needs."
Juan P. Guzman - CEO, Sannabis, Inc. and Director of Sannabis S.A.S. commented, "We have spent years advancing hemp-based construction materials, and the 33 MPa hemp block is the culmination of innovation, engineering discipline, and our mission to replace carbon-heavy materials with sustainable alternatives. These new plants-one in Colombia and one in Georgia-represent a generational shift for the industry."
