Multiple manufacturing sites.

Separate operating companies, one shared value chain. Each site focuses on what it does best, and the group moves product efficiently from production to shelf.
Produce
Sister facilities in Kalkaska, Oscoda and Traverse City manufacture to shared group standards.
Supply
Output from each site supplies GLO, keeping quality consistent and supply reliable.
Distribute
GLO manages statewide distribution, giving every retail partner a single, consistent relationship.
Run to regulated standards
Every company in the group operates in a regulated environment. Compliance is built into how we run each site, not added on afterward.
State licensed
Each operating company holds the state licenses required for its activities and maintains them in good standing.
Regulated operations
Facilities follow documented procedures designed to meet state rules for production, handling and transport.
Tracked inventory
Product is tracked through state reporting systems from production to delivery.
Independent testing
Products are tested by independent, state-accredited laboratories before reaching retail partners.
Built step by step
Each addition was made deliberately, financed responsibly and integrated before the next.
