\nQ1) Your theme this year is \u201cHELLO DUBAI, HELLO WORLD.\u201d. What does that mean for your partners here?
\nA:
\nIt\u2019s a statement of transformation. \u201cHello\u201d refreshes our goal this year of showcasing our latest innovative products and supply chain capabilities, which lead up in the industry.
\nQ2) How have you improved your production to align with market demands in the GCC?
\nA:
\n\u2022 Beyond product R&D, supply chain innovation is another key pillar of our industry-leading operations. While we\u2019ve already implemented automated production, we further upgraded our manufacturing capabilities in 2025 to unlock even greater efficiency and scalability.
\n\u2022 This year, we introduced the next-generation Flexible Manufacturing System \u2014 a modular approach that arranges products into standardized components, enabling streamlined reassembly on highly adaptable production lines.
\n\u2022 This enhanced flexibility allows us to pivot across categories swiftly and respond rapidly to evolving market demands \u2014 bringing faster product deliveries that better meet adult users\u2019 needs.
\nQ3) How does this translate into business confidence for local distributors?
\nA:
\n\u2022 A guaranteed, and efficient supply chain plays a crucial role in maintaining and furthering relationships with business partners worldwide, including in the UAE.
\n\u2022 Compared to its predecessor, this upgraded manufacturing system has increased production efficiency by 30%, resulting in a significant reduction in lead times and an acceleration of the pace of new product introductions. This advancement also improves product quality consistency, bringing fewer defects, reduced customer complaints, and higher overall satisfaction.
\n\u2022 In addition to operational efficiency, product quality and safety remain our top priorities.
\n\u2022 Every device and e-liquid product undergoes a rigorous multi-tiered testing process, including toxicological and chemical analysis, reliability testing, material testing, and electronic and battery testing, covering 142 tests on e-liquids, 22 on aerosols, 86 on device materials, and 31 on product reliability.
\n\u2022 To ensure continued compliance and performance, we also conduct regular post-market inspections, reinforcing product integrity as part of overall user experience.
\nQ4) Any next steps for smarter operations?
\nA:
\n\u2022 We will continue to elevate our manufacturing, customer service, and global logistics systems to new levels to maximize efficiency and increase transparency, all while ensuring the highest standards of product quality and safety.
\n\u2022 These improvements aim to guarantee operational excellence while delivering a better user experience.
\n\u2022 In addition, ELFBAR and LOST MARY are also deeply committed to corporate responsibility, integrating environmental, social, and governance considerations into business practices.
\n\u2022 We are now on our way bringing the used vape recycling program and our youth protection program to the UAE and the GCC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
