The firm's website lists a portfolio of three entities as of the latest available view: Marry Jane AG, a Swiss cannabis cultivation company; Swiss Extract AG, which manufactures cannabis-based extracts; and AMP, whose business description is not publicly clarified on the firm's site. The portfolio reflects a strategy of controlling vertical supply-chain assets within Switzerland's regulated cannabis framework.
