As legalized medical and recreational use of marijuana spreads from state to state, the security industry has profited from sales that have been both COVID-19- and recession-proof. U.S. cannabis sales are predicted to reach $26.5 billion this year and double by 2030. Supporting those numbers is a growing infrastructure of cultivation, processing, distribution and retail facilities. By law, each must install comprehensive security systems that regulate and document access to product.
C3 Industries, headquartered in Ann Arbor, Mich., is a multi-state cannabis operation with cultivation, manufacturing and retail locations. The company crafts, brands and sells premium cannabis products, with facilities in Michigan, Massachusetts, Missouri and Oregon. Currently, C3’s expanding enterprise encompasses 250,000 square feet of grow and processing space in operation or the final stages of completion. More than 20 retail stores are now open or under construction.
