Consolidated Growers & Processors, Incorporated was founded for the purpose of expanding and commercializing emerging "industrial crops" such as industrial hemp for use as sustainably grown industrial raw materials.
 The Board of Directors of Consolidated Growers & Processors, Incorporated (OTC BULLETIN BOARD: CGPR) announced today that the Company has added three well known senior managers to its management team; Bernard Geoffroy as executive vice president for agriculture, J.B. LeTexier as president, CGP Europe and Emmanuel Geoffroy as assistant vice president, Agriculture. Prior to joining Consolidated Growers, Bernard Geoffroy served for more than 20 years as president of La Chanvriere de l'aube, Bar Sur Aube, France, the world's largest producer and processor of hemp. The developer of the most modern techniques for planting and harvesting hemp, Mr. Geoffroy was also responsible for organizing growers and developing high speed processing equipment now used worldwide to process hemp for industrial and cosmetic uses. J.B. LeTexier was formerly Managing Director of La Chanviere de l'aube for 22 years. He worked in concert with Bernard Geoffroy to develop new markets for hemp products and was responsible for the introduction of hemp as a revolutionary form of horse bedding with several distinct advantages over other existing products. Emmanuel Geoffroy, like his father has substantial experience in the business community and has particular expertise working with international industrial groups and with hemp producers in Europe. "Together the Geoffroys and J.B. LeTexier have more than 50 years of combined experience working with growers to develop new ways of planting, harvesting and processing hemp fiber and oil. They were responsible for the introduction of hemp in a variety of new markets including building insulation, automotive interiors, and the introduction of hemp oil products such as body lotions, soaps and shampoos. We believe their addition to the CGP team will enable us to meet our goal of becoming the most formidable player in our industry," said Larry Siddens, chief executive officer of Consolidated Growers. Consolidated Growers & Processors, Incorporated was founded for the purpose of expanding and commercializing emerging "industrial crops" such as industrial hemp for use as sustainably grown industrial raw materials. Applications for these products include home building, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, paper pulp and automotive uses.
