Job Description
Florent Labs is a NJ-CRC and MA-licensed cannabis manufacturer producing concentrates, vape cartridges, and infused pre-rolls out of our Roselle facility. We run hydrocarbon extraction as our primary process, with ethanol and downstream post-processing supporting our finished-goods lineup.
