Opici Family Distributing signs East Coast expansion agreement with HighBridge Premium

HighBridge Premium, maker of quality hemp-derived Delta-9 infused beverages, announced it has entered into a distribution agreement with Opici Family Distributing of New Jersey. This partnership marks HighBridge’s entry into the East Coast market and adds another top-tier distributor to its growing national network.

“HighBridge is excited to partner with Opici Family Distributing as we expand our footprint on the East Coast,” said James Hunter, founder and CEO of HighBridge Premium. “The addition of Opici, an iconic 90-year-old distribution company, continues our tradition of partnering with the most highly regarded distributors as we grow throughout the U.S.”

Opici Family Distributing, founded in 1934, ranks among the top 10 distributors in the United States, according to Wines & Vines magazine. The family-owned and operated company has maintained four generations of service, integrity, loyalty and hard work, making it an ideal partner for HighBridge and its mission to normalize and promote social acceptance of infused beverages.

Jim Belushi, founder of Belushi’s Farms and a HighBridge partner, said, “We are proud to partner with Opici, which makes the HighBridge-Belushi’s Farm products available to our followers throughout the East Coast region. Our partnership with HighBridge is more than a collaboration — it’s a recipe for magic. When two bold brands join forces, the hemp Delta-9 market gets a taste of something truly extraordinary. Adding Opici creates a win-win-win scenario.”

“As we considered entering this market segment, we sought a product and partner with shared values and respect for the industry,” said Dina Opici, president of Opici Family Distributing. “We are thrilled to partner with HighBridge to expand upon our hemp beverage portfolio.”

“A shared commitment to quality, social responsibility and commercial integrity is a common trait amongst our distribution partners,” said Hunter. “Opici exemplifies the perfect distribution partner.”
