About us

A Different Kind of MSO

C3 Industries is a private, vertically-integrated, multi-state cannabis company with operations in four states in the US. Unlike most other MSOs, C3 has been largely built organically and began its operations in competitive, open markets like Michigan and Oregon. The Company has a long track record of cultivating, manufacturing and retailing high-quality cannabis products, with customer service and value at the center of our business plan – not as an afterthought.

Founded in 2018 by brothers and cannabis enthusiasts Ankur and Vishal Rungta, along with their long-time friend and partner Joel Ruggiero, C3’s mission is to create a premium cannabis brand (Cloud Cover) and retail experience (High Profile) catering to those looking for a superior quality cannabis experience equal to the standards of the most discerning consumers – us!

Future Market Growth

C3 continues to enter new markets with additional retail growth and expansion of our wholesale brand portfolio. Our approach to market selection is rigorous and thoughtful – seeking the best market conditions to support our overall business mission.  We are currently in the process of entering the Connecticut, New Jersey, and Illinois markets.  The timing of these new markets depends on state-specific licensing and construction processes; however, we anticipate being operational in all three of these markets by late 2023.  Our current plans include vertical operations in Connecticut and Illinois and retail operations in New Jersey.
