CHK Solutions: the interview

On the occasion of the’Expogrow Business Barcelona, we were able to interview CHK Solutions, a Spanish company run by a Frenchman, Cédric Peres, dedicated to the cannabis sector.

CHK is part of the ArcView, one of America's largest cannabis investors, and is now their first investment in Europe.

Hello CHK. Can you tell us about your company?

CHK is a company offering solutions and services to industry professionals, growers and private individuals.

We have worked in all aspects of the industry covering cultivation, logistics and supply chain, distribution, sales of cultivation products and facilities management. We have worked across Europe, Canada and the USA, speaking all the major European languages. We have a clear understanding of the market and its global evolution.

We develop and represent American and Canadian brands such as Triminator, Pure Pressure, Floraflex, Dosatron, Dipper and Torch, as well as Californian and Colorado seed banks such as Symbiotics Genetics, Cannarado Genetics from Colorado and, of course, French brands such as Terralba.

Who are your customers?

Distributors, growshops, individuals and also companies that produce hemp or cannabis legally in countries where it is legal through our consulting service.

You're French, so why did you decide to base your company in Spain?

CHK was founded in 2017 by a group of international professionals who have each worked in the industry for the past 15 years across Europe and have lived in Barcelona for over 10 years.

Barcelona remains one of the world's most important cities for the development of this industry, so it made sense for us to base ourselves here.

What are Europe's ambitions?

Develop and promote all our products and consulting services in all European countries, so as to educate and professionalize the industry with our partners.

Your name is CHK. Any connection with Choko Barcelona, Barcelona's Cannabis Club?

No, we chose Choko Barcelona because it's one of the best clubs in Barcelona and we wanted to collaborate with their team, so we offered them a partnership to demonstrate the effectiveness of our products.
