According to the marketing manager of Puff Korea Co., Ltd., "Starting with our first product, PUFF Max, we will launch five new American products and 30 flavors in the Korean market this year to quickly gain market share." He stated that PUFF Max, which debuted in Korea, is "a product that can be easily used anytime, anywhere," and Puff Korea plans to lead the global electronic cigarette market by entering the fiercely competitive Korean market with the slogan "Get the new sweet color now! Taste it! Live it!" The company also plans to continuously develop and release patented products equipped with new technologies.


Puff Korea, a subsidiary of PUFF BAR, announced plans to invest in a new production line and product releases in Korea to prepare for global exports. The initial facilities investment is expected to be around KRW 30 billion, with plans to add KRW 500 billion in business in the future.
