In a remarkable achievement, Plxsur, a global vaping conglomerate, has announced that it reached its ambitious goal of achieving $1 billion in consolidated revenues from its partners in just two years. This milestone cements Plxsur’s position as possibly the largest and fastest-growing assembly of independent vaping companies worldwide.
Nigel Hardy, the CEO and founder of Plxsur, attributes this success to a strategic focus on compliance, governance, and responsible business practices. Plxsur’s approach of having a diversified portfolio of brands has proven to be a key factor in building a scalable reduced-risk product (RRP) business. To date, Plxsur’s efforts have led to sales to approximately 4 million consumers, generating retail sales by value of units sold at $1.835 billion.
In addition to its impressive sales figures, Plxsur boasts 10 e-liquid manufacturing facilities across six markets, adhering to stringent quality management systems. All e-liquids are produced in facilities certified at a minimum by ISO 9001, ensuring compliance with regulatory and legislative requirements across the globe.
Plxsur’s growth strategy involves partnering with leading vaping companies across various markets, currently including Hale Vaping (Ireland), UEG Holland (Netherlands), DampShop (Belgium), Pro Vape (Latvia), Puff Store (Italy), Nobacco (Greece), Ritchy Group (Czech Republic), Vape Empire (Malaysia), Pacific Smoke (Canada), and CK Complex (Poland). These partnerships have secured Plxsur an estimated 10 percent share of the global $19.34 billion vaping market, with ambitions to double this share within the next five years.
Under Hardy’s leadership, Plxsur has prioritized improving the businesses it acquires by focusing on governance, compliance, and reporting. The company’s compliance efforts extend to regulatory, communication, marketing, finance, and legal aspects, ensuring that all products meet the highest standards.
Plxsur’s remarkable revenue growth of 40 percent in 2023, resulting in over $1 billion with an adjusted EBITDA of over $200 million, reflects the strength of the global vaping market. An independent research report commissioned by Plxsur, deemed the most comprehensive consumer study on vaping to date, supports the potential for continued growth and the loyalty of adult smokers who switch to vaping.
Looking forward, Plxsur is focused on transitioning consumers from disposable vapes to rechargeable pod and open systems, aligning with its commitment to sustainability and responsibility in the vaping industry. The company is actively engaging with governments on policy development to prevent youth access and promote a responsible vaping culture.
Plxsur’s vision extends beyond financial success to making a tangible difference in the lives of adult smokers through a smokeless society. With responsibility at its core, Plxsur is set to continue its rapid growth, shape the future of the vaping industry, and work towards its ambitious target of over $15 billion in revenues by 2033.
