## Resource

After watching pre-roll production slow his Arizona dispensary to a crawl, Tony Pagni knew there had to be a better way. He and his business partner spent three years developing the Apehex automated pre-roll machine, eventually catching the attention of Raw Rolling Papers founder Josh Kesselman. Now they're revolutionizing the industry with solventless products. The Apehex machine produces joints infused with natural terpenes and distillate oil in flavors like grape and watermelon. Tony personally handles all sales, traveling across North America to demonstrate the equipment on-site.
