SAFETY STRIPS TECH CORP. SIGNS EXCLUSIVE SUPPLY AGREEMENT WITH LEADING FIRST NATIONS DISTRIBUTOR FOR DELIVERY OF PROPRIETARY FENTANYL TESTS TO INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES
Safe Supply Streaming Co. Ltd.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Safety Strips Tech Corp., has entered into an exclusive supply agreement with a leading first nations distributor on April 28, 2025, to deliver Safety Strips' proprietary fentanyl detection kits across indigenous communities throughout Canada.
Key highlights:
- Exclusive distribution: Safety Strips will be the sole supplier of proprietary fentanyl test kits through an established first nations-focused distributor;
- Immediate revenue generation: first shipment of 10,000 units already under way, with potential for recurring orders;
- Social impact and ESG (environmental, social and governance) alignment: strong alignment with public health priorities, indigenous wellness initiatives and ESG investment themes;
- Expansion potential: significant opportunity to grow into additional harm reduction products, including Safety Strips' drink spike test kits;
- First-mover advantage: Safety Strips establishes an early foothold in a critical, underserved market.
The first shipment of 10,000 units is already under way, representing an important initial step in what is expected to become a long-term, high-impact supply relationship. Under the terms of the agreement, Safety Strips will be the exclusive provider of fentanyl test kits for the distributor, supporting immediate harm reduction efforts in first nations communities. Due to confidentiality agreements, the distributor's name will not be disclosed.
"This is a deal that brings Safety Strips' harm reduction technologies directly into underserved markets where they are urgently needed. We are proud to collaborate with our distribution partner to deliver real-world solutions that save lives and build safer communities," said Geoff Benic, chief executive officer of Safety Strips.
The fentanyl epidemic has had a devastating impact on indigenous communities across Canada. Since 2017, first nations have faced a sharp increase in opioid-related poisonings, driven largely by the growing presence of fentanyl in the unregulated drug supply. First nations individuals continue to experience opioid-related deaths at a rate approximately four times higher than the national average.
By introducing accessible, easy-to-use fentanyl and drink spike testing solutions, this partnership not only addresses immediate public health needs but also establishes a foundation for longer-term health resilience, education and community safety initiatives.
Bill Panagiotakopoulos, CEO of Safe Supply Streaming, added: "This agreement reflects the strength of our portfolio companies and our strategy to partner with organizations driving real impact. It's not just a commercial milestone; it's a statement of our commitment to making harm reduction tools accessible where they are most urgently needed. We believe Safety Strips is uniquely positioned to lead in public health innovation across North America."
This exclusive agreement positions Safety Strips as a first mover in the indigenous harm reduction market and unlocks a vital new distribution channel as the company scales its operations continent wide.
