Vancouver-based Segra International has acquired Klonetics Plant Science Inc., a licensed cannabis nursery and cultivation company based in Kelowna, BC.

In an announcement shared on May 20, the cannabis company says the acquisition will “significantly bolster” the company’s position as a cannabis tissue culture nursery and pathogen testing lab.

Klonetics operates a 25,000 sq. ft. indoor facility with a focus on custom cannabis solutions such as genetic licensing, white label services, HLVd testing, and much more. 

Leveraging Klonetics’ existing licences and infrastructure, Segra plans to expand its nursery capacity and operational capabilities, utilizing its tissue culture and molecular laboratories. The company adds that the utilization of Klonetics’ flowering capacity will also support research and development, cultivar characterization, and performance validation of new genetics.

By integrating with Klonetics, Segra will elevate the quality and diversity of cannabis genetics available to all our clients—from small boutique growers to large-scale producers—equipping them with superior cultivars tailored to market demands, says Jamie Blundell, CEO of Segra International, adding that the collaboration will also enhance Segra’s agronomic services, ensuring customers receive comprehensive support to maximize yields and optimize cultivation practices. 

Segra is in the process of initiating facility upgrades to ensure immediate operational readiness. This strategic alignment underscores Segra’s commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and plant quality, reinforcing its position as a trusted partner for cannabis cultivators and producers worldwide.

“The amalgamation with Klonetics marks an important milestone in our growth,” says Blundell. “By combining Klonetics’ facility with Segra’s advanced tissue culture, genetics, and global sales force, we are well-positioned to accelerate our growth and service to the global cannabis industry.”

Segra International, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, specializes in cannabis tissue culture, DNA fingerprinting, pathogen detection services, and flower brokering. Its proprietary technologies enable clients to enhance financial performance and mitigate disease risks while optimizing cultivation practices. 

Segra operates industrial-scale laboratories producing Verified Segra Stock™ cannabis plantlets in collaboration with leading breeders, shipping to licensed producers in Canada and internationally.

Klonetics also offers several unique cultivars such as Animal Mints, White Hot Guava, Sherb Cream Pie, Mango Crush, Dream Catcher, Specimen X, Permanent Chimera, Ravens Revenge, Car Crash, Animal Tsunami, and Oreo Mint Kush. 

In 2024, Klonetics announced that they had successfully exported their cannabis products to Israel and Australia.
