Operational Achievements in 2021
- Launched with a major national club store in the Northeast in the first quarter.
- Entered nutraceutical segment and launched three new SKUs in a gummy form.
- Reduced our dependence on invoice factoring.
Paul Adler, Chairman, and CEO stated, “Our ability to deliver record results year after year has demonstrated that we can operate efficiently, as well as significantly grow our revenues to record levels, even during a difficult operating environment. Despite the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, we were able to achieve record revenue growth in 2021, with steady gross margins.
During 2021, we invested in infrastructure by hiring a top-notch executive to a newly formed Director of Operations position. Additionally, we were impacted by the worldwide supply chain issues, which resulted in the tripling of our shipping and logistics cost. These additional costs impacted our profitability. However, our strong inventory management systems helped mitigate the impact of these additional costs. In 2022 we expect to leverage our overhead and have signed an agreement with a larger and more efficient warehouse, which will enable us to handle more containers than we were previously constrained from doing in our previous location.
Mr. Adler further stated, “This is just the early stages of our planned future growth. We have built a strong foundation and plan to take our growth to the next level. We look forward to further achievements in 2022.”
