Rundu Pharmaceuticals Plans to Expand Nicotine Products Overseas
Investors inquire about potential collaboration with Swedish match company and US nicotine pouch sales for Ruando Group (002923.SZ).

Recently, an investor raised questions on the interactive platform asking whether Runto Corporation (002923.SZ) is collaborating with Swedish Match AB and whether they have plans to register their brand to sell nicotine pouch products in the United States.


In response to this, Runto Pharmaceuticals stated that the quality of the bioalkaloids (nicotine) produced by its wholly-owned subsidiary Runto Pharmaceuticals (Jingmen) Co., Ltd. has been widely recognized and has achieved commercial sales. Nicotine products can be applied in various fields such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, and nicotine patches, with a wide range of applications. The company will actively understand the relevant domestic and foreign market access rules, strive to gain more commercial cooperation opportunities, and provide better returns for investors.
