Natur International Corp. Completes $7.2M Capital Round, fully funded and ready for rapid growth to address Europe’s Hemp-based Powerhouse Group


Amsterdam, The Netherlands, July 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Natur International Corp., (OTC: NTRU) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved the closing of a $7.2M capital round consisting of Preferred Stock purchases and convertible notes with a non-US investor group consisting of Private Equity, and Individual Investors.  Growth is anticipated through a series of strategic alliances, mergers and joint ventures, along with organic growth of the company’s new hemp-infused consumer products, along with its legacy functional F&B product line.

Natur management has dedicated considerable effort the past two quarters to re-envision the future, re-structure business units, and establish a robust new product development pipeline.  As this capital raise signifies a new beginning, there are management roles being defined in the best interest of the shareholders and investors of Natur International Corp. 

Natur co-founder and board member Nina Storms will assume the position of interim-CEO, of Natur International Corp. under the new capital plan, while former CEO, Rob Paladino, will dedicate his efforts toward rapid global commercial development initiatives in a group company in a newly created Chief Commercial Officer role.  Board member Ruud Huisman will assume the role of CFO, of Natur International Corp. succeeding Ellen Berkers, who will remain as advisor, anticipating another role within the group. Most of her time last year was dedicated to the restructuring of the company which was successfully completed under her responsibility.    

The business is now running in a more efficient, streamlined manner. The restructuring has allowed for the global expansion to occur in a seamless manner and to be able to compliment the skills of the new board and management.

Board members Chris Spencer, Rob Paladino, and Ellen Berkers have stepped down from the Board of Directors effective June 24, allowing for future appointments to the board from among the company’s new investors and influential advisors.
