Company announcements
Stenocare is a Danish company that cultivates, produces, imports and sells prescription-based medical cannabis
Stenocare is a Danish pharmaceutical company founded in 2017. The following year, Stenocare became the first Danish company to obtain all permits to cultivate, import and trade in medicinal cannabis oils in the Danish pilot scheme. Stenocare is also the only Danish company that has succeeded in having medical oil-based cannabis products approved for the Danish pilot scheme, and currently supply medical cannabis oil products to Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, British and Australian patients.
The pharmaceutical approach ensured crucial permits
Scientific controllability, transparent processes and uniformity of products are essential to the credibility of a pharmaceutical company and to gain the trust of physicians and the many possible patients on the market. Optimising every detail and controlling the quality of products is a working method that CEO Thomas Skovlund Schnegelsberg recognises from his many years in the IT industry and now actively uses at Stenocare.
“I went from an industry that is 100 percent digital and technology-based to one that is based on nature’s processes. Stenocare strive to have 100 percent control over the ecosystem, risk management and optimisation of processes and product quality. Even though the plant is basically a natural product, it was crucial to create a framework for its development that can be quality assured, controlled and optimised and thereby accepted and approved as prescription drugs,” says CEO Thomas Skovlund Schnegelsberg, emphasising that the technological and detail-driven cultivation process for cannabis plants is based solely on indoor climate-controlled cultivation rooms.
Our high pharmaceutical standard has led to success in several markets, and the team behind Stenocare has succeeded in obtaining approvals in several important markets.
Stenocare has partnered with leading producers of medical cannabis with the aim of importing their finished products into Denmark, Sweden, Norway, UK and Australia. Stenocare partners with several suppliers to achieve better predictability of supply and offer patients a broader range of products for their treatment based on medical cannabis.
Products that patients and physicians can trust
Stenocare’s core ambition is to provide patients with a reliable, well-documented and easily accessible pharmaceutical alternative of the highest quality for the many patients who are seeking good clinical outcomes without being criminalised via illegal markets.
“It is a common societal problem that so many patients still find it difficult to acquire medical cannabis and are instead forced to move into an unsafe criminal landscape when they are already in a stressful life situation. If the quality and dosage cannot be guaranteed, the use of the drug, as with other medications, can do more harm than good. The prescription-based products come with the highest restrictions in relation to quality and safety and are therefore crucial to winning the trust of physicians and patients and building a solid foundation for a new, international industry,” says Thomas Skovlund Schnegelsberg, CEO in Stenocare.
Stenocare strategy
Stenocare 1.0 ambitions are well implemented, and we are now commence executing our strategy for Stenocare 2.0 to become a leading medical cannabis brand in Europe Thomas Skovlund Schnegelsberg, CEO Stenocare
The Stenocare 2.0 strategy has invested in building assets within four categories that supplement each other and are important for the success of the company:
- Regulatory assets; having the required licenses and product approvals from the Health Authorities to operate in each market. This is a key requirement to legally do business, and it includes regulatory licenses to handle-, process-, release-, store- and distribute medical cannabis. Equally important is the acquired capability to work with the medicines agencies to have new prescription-based products approved for patient’s treatment.
- Commercial assets; Having sales channels and distribution logistics in multiple markets for prescription-based medical cannabis. With a broad access it is possible to benefit from the market.
- Partnership assets; Working with pharma-grade partners to develop future medical cannabis products. This is a way to be active across the entire value chain and get traction faster and having exclusive medical cannabis products to market that competition does not have.
- Supply chain assets; Sourcing medical cannabis products that can secure supply capacity and scale across all the markets. This gives a strong and broad product portfolio to offer patients. With multiple suppliers of finished products combined with the Stenocare indoor facility is securing capacity and capability to meet the growing demand in the market.
These four strategic assets leverage the proven results from the Stenocare 1.0 strategy, that made the company a first-mover in the Danish medical cannabis industry by securing regulatory approvals from The Danish Medicine Agency.
The company has been granted (1) approval to import/manufacture/Distribute medical cannabis products, (2) approval to cultivate and produce medical cannabis, (3) approval to handle activities with euphoriant substances – and (4) approval to have Stenocare medical cannabis oil and capsule products accepted for the Danish Pilot Programme.

Good news for the Danish medical cannabis patients and for the industry
May 25, 2021
Stenocare applauds the Danish Parliament decision to a) extend the Pilot Programme that allow Danish doctors to prescribe medical cannabis and b) to permanently allow local cultivation and production of medical cannabis. This is very good news for patients and the industry.
Prescription: The Danish Parliament today made the decision to extend the Pilot Programme for prescription of medical cannabis with another four years, when the current Pilot expires on 31th of December 2021. This will allow all doctors to continue prescribing medical cannabis products to their patients regardless of illness (ie. indication). The agreement also outlines, that Parliament will debate the levels of patient cost coverage or refund during the Autumn assembly.
Cultivation: The decision today also makes Danish cultivation and production of medical cannabis permanent beyond the expiration of the current Pilot in December 2021. With this decision, Denmark formally continues its ambition to become a leading producer of medical cannabis with an intention to serve both the home market and international markets.
Thomas Skovlund Schnegelsberg, CEO of Stenocare is commenting:
“Today is an important milestone for Danish patients and for the Danish medical cannabis industry. The Danish Parliament has decided to continue the Pilot Programme for patient’s treatment with high quality medical cannabis until 2025, and at the same time made the law for Danish cultivation and production permanent. With this decision, Denmark is now on a path to become a leading producer of medical cannabis for patients in Europa and be an important part of the hyper-growth expected in the coming years.”

Quote from the Report:
“The company is now a leader in the European market; its production and distribution network in Denmark was profitable in 2018 and is currently expanding to Ireland among other emerging markets. This is notable as even large companies have struggled to produce a profit in the early years of the industry”
