Power Leaves Corp. Signs Supply Agreement With Pure Spirits

Pure Spirits, an innovator in the Canadian Spirits Industry, has Purchased PLC’s Coca X (Extract) and Coca E (Essence) to Expand Their Product Offerings

TORONTO, Ontario - (NewMediaWire) - April 09, 2024 - Power Leaves Corp. (“PLC”), a leading manufacturer and international distributor of decocainized coca leaf derivatives, proudly announces the execution of a non-exclusive supply agreement (the “Agreement”) with Pure Spirits Inc. (“Pure Spirits”). Under the Agreement, PLC is supplying Pure Spirits with its decocainized Coca X (Extract) and Coca E (Essence) products at a price of US$100/L.

"We are thrilled to expand our coca derivatives business in Canada with a true pioneer in the spirits and beverage industry. Through a close collaboration with Pure Spirits, we will work to develop novel, market-leading beverage products with the beloved taste of our Coca X and Coca E ingredients,” commented Pat McCutcheon, Co-Founder & CEO of PLC. “Paired with Pure Spirits’ track record as an excellent B2B & white-label partner for other spirit brands, this agreement will give PLC a strong foothold as we expand into the multi-billion dollar spirits market with our truly disruptive ingredients.”

The Agreement also includes provisions for co-branding, where PLC and Pure Spirits will explore the use of PLC-related branding, such as “Powered by PLC” or “Powered by Power Leaves,” with a goal of generating sustained product appeal and marketability by capitalizing on the combined expertise and brand recognition of both companies.

This collaboration aligns well with Pure Spirits' mission to craft unique and flavorful beverages, enhancing their extensive product range, which includes both exclusive brands and white-label B2B solutions. This strategic partnership is expected to lead to broader engagement within the Canadian market by leveraging Pure Spirits' established distribution channels.

“As we continue to bring PLC’s disruptive coca derivatives to market, we remain incredibly excited by the overwhelmingly positive feedback we receive from potential customers on the truly novel and exceptional flavor profile of our coca products. We are optimistic that 2024 will be the year that the incredible taste of the coca plant becomes available to the masses.”

This announcement follows an earlier press release announcing that PLC has entered into an LOI for an RTO targeting a public listing in H1 2024.
