Made in the USA: Accelerant Manufacturing Brings Pre-Roll Cone Production to Iowa

In a major move to stabilize the cannabis supply chain, Accelerant Manufacturing is launching a new 100,000-square-foot facility in Iowa to domestically produce pre-roll cones. This strategic shift away from overseas manufacturing will eliminate risks like international tariffs and shipping delays, providing cannabis operators with a more reliable and efficient source for high-quality cones. The facility will also feature advanced laser-engraving technology for branding and anti-counterfeit measures.

Made in the USA: Accelerant Manufacturing Brings Pre-Roll Cone Production to Iowa

Accelerant Manufacturing is taking a major step to address one of the cannabis industry’s most pressing challenges: an unstable global supply chain. In a move designed to "future-proof" pre-roll production in North America, the company has launched a new 110,000-square-foot facility in Iowa to domestically manufacture high-quality pre-roll cones.

Historically, the majority of pre-roll cones have been sourced from overseas, leaving cannabis operators vulnerable to a host of risks, including international tariffs, long shipping delays, and rising costs. This new facility, which houses the first automated Swiss Cones machines in North America, is a direct response to those vulnerabilities. By bringing production to the U.S., Accelerant provides a reliable, tariff-proof supply option with dramatically shorter lead times.

This initiative is a key part of Accelerant's broader strategy to build a robust, American-made automation ecosystem. The company already manufactures its GrindPRO™ mills in Maryland and its CoatPRO™ for kief-coating in Missouri. The new Iowa facility not only provides a stable supply of cones but also introduces a new level of innovation with its proprietary laser-engraving technology. This allows for branded customization, artistic designs, and anti-counterfeit features, helping brands differentiate their products in a competitive market.

By providing a domestic, automated, and innovative solution, Accelerant Manufacturing is strengthening the cannabis supply chain and giving operators more control over their production. This strategic investment in U.S. manufacturing is a testament to the company's commitment to building a more resilient and self-sufficient future for the cannabis industry.
