Since 2017, we have demonstrated our commitment to providing industry-leading, innovative products while never compromising the quality or consistency that we are known for,” said Norton Singhavon, Founder and CEO of the Company. “We believe that a TSX listing recognizes our strong commitment to corporate governance and provides us with exposure to a broad new investor base that will enhance the liquidity of our common shares and warrants.”
GTEC is expected to rebrand to Avant Brands Inc (“Avant Brands”) at market open on July 12, 2021.
