Havana Roasters Coffee Companies Inc. (OTC: NAFSD), formerly North American Frac Sand, Inc., today announced that its corporate name and ticker symbol changes have been approved by FINRA. The company's common stock began trading as Havana Roasters Coffee Companies Inc. on January 29, 2026. The trading symbol will bear the designation OTC: NAFSD for twenty trading days before adopting its permanently approved symbol OTC: THRC.
The rebranding reflects the company's completed change in control and strategic transformation following the acquisition of a 100% controlling interest by HRC Holdings Corp., the exclusive license holder of the Havana Roasters Coffee™ brand and related intellectual property. As part of this transition, the company has been operating as HRC Coffee Roasters LLC on a DBA basis since May 2023. With regulatory approvals finalized, the company now moves forward under a unified corporate identity aligned with its long-term growth strategy.
Havana Roasters Coffee™ is a premium Cuban-style coffee brand built around authentic heritage roasting techniques. As the exclusive license holder, HRC controls the commercialization pathway for all Havana Roasters Coffee-branded products and services. The company is building a diversified revenue model across wholesale distribution, company-operated retail locations, franchise development, branded food and beverage programs, ready-to-drink (RTD) product development, roasting and co-packing services, and mobile hospitality platforms.
Recent operational highlights include expanded roasting and production capabilities, advancement of the company's franchise model, addition of wholesale accounts, progress on initial retail location build-outs, and advancement of RTD formulation and production planning. Near-term catalysts include the opening of initial retail locations, release of an updated e-commerce and subscription platform, introduction of franchise offerings, expansion of hospitality operations including mobile units, and milestones tied to RTD pilot production and launch preparation.
Gabriel Martinez, Chairman and CEO, stated, "Completing our rebrand to Havana Roasters Coffee Companies Inc. and trading under our branded name represents a major step in aligning our public identity with the business we are actively building. We now have the proper corporate foundation in place to scale." He added, "We believe Havana Roasters Coffee™ has a unique positioning within the premium coffee market, and our expanding platform creates multiple opportunities to build long-term value for shareholders."
Existing shareholders do not need to take any action regarding the name or symbol change. All shareholdings will be automatically updated by VStock Transfer, LLC, the company's transfer agent. More information is available at thehrccompanies.com.
