GEEKVAPE establishes a smart manufacturing center in Guangdong, investing over £120m for high precision and performance.

Geekvape has announced the establishment of an intelligent manufacturing center in the National High-tech Industrial Development Zone in Zhuhai, Guangdong, elevating intelligent manufacturing to a new level. The project is set to last for two years, with a planned investment exceeding £120 million (approximately RMB 997 million).


According to reports, the Intelligent Manufacturing Center will utilize the latest high-tech equipment to provide top-notch precision and performance. With over 200 sets of automated equipment in assembly, packaging, testing, and laser engraving, the automation level in the assembly process is at 90%, enabling GEEKVAPE to achieve intelligent production.


Furthermore, GEEKBAR's comprehensive packaging technology and third-level QR code have introduced a higher level of traceability, effectively preventing counterfeit goods and illegal sales.


It is understood that the intelligent manufacturing center, once put into operation, will achieve a production process with almost 100% error-free results. Additionally, the collaboration between the intelligent manufacturing center and QISITECH, a group specializing in atomization technology, will result in a 99.8% yield of high-quality finished products.


Allen Yang, CEO of GEEKBAR, has stated that digitization and smart manufacturing will offer significant benefits, not only in terms of production volume and efficiency, but also in ensuring that GEEKBAR's products are consistently manufactured to high-quality standards that are safe for retailers and consumers in the UK and around the world.

EU Tobacco Tax Reform Targets November Push as Sweden Holds Nicotine-Pouch Minimum at €20 per Kilogram
EU Tobacco Tax Reform Targets November Push as Sweden Holds Nicotine-Pouch Minimum at €20 per Kilogram
The Irish presidency of the Council of the European Union is using bilateral talks to push the bloc’s Tobacco Taxation Directive toward a political agreement in November. According to Law360, citing an EU official, Sweden is unwilling to accept a minimum excise threshold above €20 per kilogram for nicotine pouches. Council negotiations have already lowered the European Commission’s original proposal, but a May 2026 presidency compromise still set the minimum at 10% of the tax-inclusive retail price or €30 per kilogram in 2028-29, with higher levels later.

FDA Revises Import Alert 98-07 Rules, Bringing May Enforcement Priorities Into Unauthorized ENDS Detentions
FDA Revises Import Alert 98-07 Rules, Bringing May Enforcement Priorities Into Unauthorized ENDS Detentions
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has revised the rules under Import Alert 98-07 to incorporate its May 2026 enforcement-priority policy for certain electronic nicotine delivery systems marketed without premarket authorization. The alert continues to allow detention without physical examination, or DWPE, for ENDS lacking required marketing authorization, while directing field divisions to apply the May risk-based framework. When necessary, detention or refusal decisions must also undergo review by the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products. Products including PACHA and Vuse Pro have already emerged as industry examples of the May policy, although enforcement discretion does not constitute FDA marketing authorization.
