Move leverages the Company's expertise in regulated materials to capture opportunities in sustainable, high-growth consumer markets

Spring Branch, TX, Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Callan JMB Inc. (NASDAQ:CJMB) ("Callan JMB" or the "Company"), an integrative logistics company serving healthcare and emergency management sectors through fulfillment, storage, monitoring, and cold chain logistics, today announced the expansion of its reclamation operations into the food sampling industry. This move is part of Callan JMB's multi-variant strategic growth initiative designed to extend its proven compliance-driven model into adjacent, high-growth markets.

Building on a long history of excellence in pharmaceutical and regulated material logistics, Callan JMB is applying its expertise in product integrity, recall readiness, and traceability to support the specialized needs of food brands and distributors managing large-scale sampling programs.

While most food sampling programs focus on reach and trial, few have standardized sustainable packaging or waste-reduction practices — creating an accountability gap. As brands face increasing pressure to cut waste and measure impact, the sampling channel presents a clear opportunity for logistics partners that deliver sustainability, compliance, and traceability.

"This is a natural extension of our core capabilities," said Wayne Williams, CEO of Callan JMB. "We're already working with companies that have a strong presence in the food sampling space, helping them streamline compliance and sustainability within their distribution models. The same systems that ensure safety and accountability in pharmaceuticals are essential to protecting consumers and maintaining brand trust in food sampling."

The expansion was made possible through Callan JMB's relationship with Keychain, an AI-powered platform for the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry. Supporting over $1 billion in monthly manufacturing projects, Keychain's platform connects 30,000 manufacturers with 20,000 brands and retailers, helping them bring new products to market faster, more responsibly, and with greater precision.

"The need for smarter and more transparent supply chains is growing fast," said Oisin Hanrahan, Co-founder and CEO of Keychain. "Callan JMB brings deep expertise in regulated logistics, and together we're helping brands operate with greater accountability, from how products are made to how they reach consumers. It's a practical step toward a more efficient and responsible CPG ecosystem."

"Food companies — and, more importantly, the recipients of their samples — are looking for sustainability," Williams added. "From packaging to transportation and reclamation, Callan JMB's compliance infrastructure enables brands to meet these expectations while reducing waste and protecting product quality. This initiative reflects our broader strategy to apply proven, sustainable logistics models across industries committed to public health and consumer trust."

While specific forecasts for food sampling services are limited, the broader food logistics market—valued at over $120 billion globally and growing at a rate of 6–10% annually—offers a strong platform for expansion. Callan JMB's entry into this fast-emerging segment supports brands responding to the growing demand for sustainable, compliant sampling and distribution.

With the U.S. specialty food sector projected to reach $130 billion by 2032 (Data Bridge Market Research, 2024), this expansion reinforces Callan JMB's commitment to diversification, sustainability, and cross-sector resilience.
