Tampa CBD manufacturer boosts sales, adds jobs
November 18, 2020 - Proleve Distribution, a Tampa company that manufactures all-natural CBD products, said it will add 20 new jobs as the company closes out a year of record revenue. In its third full year of operation, Proleve posted a 178 percent sales increase, from $1.8 million in 2019 to $5 million in 2020, a news release said. Proleve was founded in November 2017 by Jonathan Solomon, who is president of the company. Proleve produces and distributes products containing the hemp extract CBD or cannabidiol. It is registered with the Food & Drug Admnistration and licensed and certified by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service. Proleve is building a new distribution center near Tampa International Airport. New jobs added in the coming weeks will help support operations at the new facility, as well as at the company’s existing headquarters, which will be converted into a retail store in South Tampa, the news release said.
