Kosen Technology has announced the completion of registration procedures for the establishment of its company in Vietnam. The first mass-production project at the Vietnam factory will be a non-combustible electronic cigarette that heats up. Other projects under development are also being progressed.
Below is the original Q&A transcript:
Question: How is the progress of the production base in Vietnam? Can you provide an overview of the project pipeline for the production base in Vietnam?
Answer: The company has completed registration procedures for establishing a company in Vietnam and has received approval documents such as the "Overseas Investment Project Filing Notice" from relevant departments. The decision to invest and build production capacity in Vietnam was made after considering various factors. The first mass-production project of the Vietnamese factory is for a heat-not-burn electronic cigarette, and other reserved projects are also under development. From the perspective of protecting the domestic electronic cigarette industry, companies like PMI cannot be allowed to establish production capacity within China's borders. Therefore, in terms of the supply chain, the company will relocate the production capacity of heat-not-burn electronic cigarettes to Vietnam to help secure orders, while production capacity for products such as smartphones and tablets that have good consumer markets in China will remain within the country.
