RLX Technology Inc.

RLX

Our mission is to make RELX a trusted brand for adult smokers through state-of-the-art products, industry-leading technologies and scientific advances in collaboration with talented and committed people around the globe. 

We are the No.1 branded e-vapor company in China, capturing 48.0% and 62.6% of the market share of closed-system e-vapor products in terms of retail sales value in 2019 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, according to the CIC Report. We deeply engage in the key activities in the e-vapor industry, from scientific research, technology and product development, supply chain management, to offline distribution. According to a survey conducted in September 2020 by CIC, we ranked 1st in terms of brand awareness, as evidenced by a mindshare of 67.6% among users of e-vapor products in China.

We leverage our strong in-house technology and product development capabilities and in-depth insights into adult smokers' needs to develop superior e-vapor products. Since our inception, we have launched five series of closed-system rechargeable e-vapor products with various value-added features. To holistically improve adult smokers' experience with our products, we have implemented a multi-layered development framework that encompasses accessories, interactions, applications, phase-transitions and infrastructure. Under this framework, we have developed many industry-leading technologies that strengthen various aspects of our products' quality and performance.

We have designed and implemented rigorous and standardized systems of quality assurance and control that cover the key steps of supply chain management to provide high-quality products to adult smokers in a consistent manner. We strictly uphold our extensive internal standards for various aspects of our products, and conduct thorough quality assurance and control practices throughout the entire production cycle. We have also adopted an integrated approach to managing our third-party manufacturers and suppliers and monitoring the quality of a variety of production resources. 

 We have pioneered an integrated offline distribution and "branded store plus" retail model tailored to China's e-vapor market. Under this model, we identify and leverage a variety of distribution and retail channels that allow our products to reach adult smokers in a more effective manner. As of September 30, 2020, we partnered with 110 authorized distributors to supply our products to over 5,000 RELX Branded Partner Stores and over 100,000 other retail outlets nationwide, covering over 250 cities in China. We have adopted comprehensive systems and methods to manage, supervise and empower our distributors and retailers. Currently, we only sell our e-vapor products in China.
