FLUENT Corp. has begun operations at its new 68,000+ square-foot indoor cultivation facility in Buffalo, New York, doubling the company’s New York cultivation capacity.
Alongside this expansion, FLUENT has entered into a partnership with Connected New York Inc., a part of the Connected International Inc. family and the California-based brand. Within the Connected portfolio are three premium brands: Connected Cannabis, AlienLabs and Smoken Promises. Under this partnership, FLUENT will serve as the exclusive provider of these brands in New York, according to the company.
“Our mission is to cultivate exceptional cannabis that reflects the highest standards of quality and consistency,” said David Vautrin, interim CEO of FLUENT, in a news release. “With this new facility, we are pairing cutting-edge technology with Connected’s master grower expertise to unlock the full potential of their genetics. The result will be flower rich in flavor, potency and purity. We are committed to setting a new benchmark for premium flower in New York, where demand for top-shelf product is growing at over 80% year-over-year, according to BDSA data.”
Caleb Counts, CEO of Connected, added “We are excited to introduce Connected Cannabis, AlienLabs and Smoken Promises to New York’s cannabis community. Partnering with FLUENT gives us the platform to bring our proven genetics to one of the most discerning markets in the country— same standards, same quality, no compromises. We believe the demand is real, and we’re here to earn our place on New York shelves.”
Connected Cannabis and AlienLabs branded products are expected to reach retailers and consumers in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to the company. In addition to these new offerings, FLUENT and its wholesale division, ENTOURAGE, will continue to feature their growing portfolio of in-house brands, offering a wide range of consumption methods for both adult-use customers and medical patients across the state.
