About the Company

Our client is an esteemed player in the disposable vape industry, establishing an impressive global presence. In the United States, a market which accounts for over 40% of the global vaping industry, our client has made its mark as one of the top three brands in disposable vapes. Additionally, we are proud to declare that our client reigns as the premier brand in the UK, boasting a staggering market share exceeding 80%.

Our influence extends beyond these shores, with a flourishing presence in the Asia-Pacific region, Middle East, Russia, Central Asia, and East Asia. While the US market has been pivotal in our success, what's remarkable is that we've achieved this impressive standing over the past three years without a local team. Recognizing the immense potential and to further solidify our position, we are now in the process of establishing a dedicated local team in the US. This strategic development is designed to ensure that both our valued customers and partners are afforded an exceptional experience through enhanced product offerings.
