About Caliper 

Caliper Foods was founded in 2015 on the belief that cannabinoids represent a major new category in functional ingredients. Today, we offer safe and standardized hemp-derived soluble cannabinoids to consumers and manufacturers alike. Our consumer division, Caliper Consumer, produces and sells Caliper CBD and Caliper Swiftsticks online and in retail channels nationwide. Our ingredients division, Caliper Ingredients, produces standardized, soluble cannabinoid ingredients for CPG companies that care about compliance. Finally, our sister company, Stillwater Brands, makes and sells Ripple, a leading THC edibles brand in Colorado (and Michigan soon!).
