Recently, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter who spoke to 2FIRSTS, the well-known Polish e-cigarette brand AROMA KING may be facing a crisis of financial chain breakdown, causing a large number of pre-ordered goods to be stranded in the factory and unable to be delivered.

 

The incident involves AROMA KING's OEM factory, suppliers, and logistics partners, with a significant amount of money involved. It is alleged that AROMA KING may have defaulted on approximately 80 million yuan (approximately 11 million USD) owed to a company in Shenzhen. Further revelations indicate that employees of this company have not received their salaries for three consecutive months.

 

AROMA KING, a brand well-known in Europe and certain regions of the United States, has collaborated with renowned brands such as Bugatti Veyron to launch co-branded products.
