SNDL Inc. has announced the successful completion of a European Union Good Manufacturing Practice (EU-GMP) audit at its Atholville, New Brunswick cultivation facility.
Announced on August 4, 2026, the Alberta-based company says the successful audit reinforces its ability to participate in regulated international medical cannabis markets and reflects the company’s continued focus on quality, operational excellence, and regulatory compliance.
EU-GMP compliance is an important standard for supplying medical cannabis products into many international jurisdictions. SNDL anticipates receipt of EU-GMP certification for its Atholville facility within the next 90 days following successful completion of the audit.
SNDL is headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, with operations in Kelowna, British Columbia; Bolton and London, Ontario; Toronto, Ontario; and Atholville, New Brunswick, and corporate-owned, controlled, and franchised retail liquor and cannabis stores in five provinces across Canada.
Atholville is one of SNDL’s largest cultivation assets, comprising approximately 380,000 square feet with more than 110,000 square feet of cultivation canopy and production capacity supporting approximately 4,500 kilograms per quarter, with the potential to support greater than 30 tonnes with targeted investment.
“This achievement is another example of SNDL’s commitment to disciplined execution,” said Zach George, Chief Executive Officer of SNDL. “The successful completion of this audit strengthens Atholville’s position as a strategically important asset and supports our ability to pursue international medical cannabis opportunities. Today we recognize the outstanding leadership of Tim Main and Rebecca Knight, together with the entire New Brunswick team, whose dedication and professionalism made this accomplishment possible.”
SNDL also recently announced the closing of a deal for control of 56 retail cannabis locations in the US on July 27 (subject to satisfying the remaining legal, regulatory, accounting, and NASDAQ requirements).
