cGMP Quality Award: Industry First for Intellicig

cGMP Quality Award: Industry First for Intellicig

The award of a Certificate of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Compliance by the UK Medicine and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to CN Creative, is also great news for customers and business partners of Intellicig – the leading UK producer and supplier of high quality electronic cigarettes and nicotine preparations.

The cGMP award puts Intellicig’s manufacturing quality standards on an equal footing with those for pharmaceutical and NRT products – a first for an electronic cigarette.

This latest cGMP award is formal recognition that the organisation has a Quality Management System conforming fully to objectives and principles of EU Good Manufacturing Practice.

Customers for Intellicig Electronic Cigarettes can now be sure that the ECOpure Liquid Nicotine they use has not only been created in an ISO Class 8 Clean Room from pharmacopeia sourced ingredients, but has also been created in the UK to exacting cGMP quality management standards – well in advance of the minimum level of quality required by UK Trading Standards.

Intellicig’s UK Business Partners – a distribution channel of some 5000 pharmacies and retail outlets – can also benefit from the added reassurance that the award from the MHRA brings. This is further evidence to the marketplace that Intellicig products are manufactured in the UK to the very highest standards of quality control. Formal MHRA recognition of cGMP compliance is a great ‘u.s.p.’ for Intellicig’s Business Partners–particularly the pharmacies – giving retailers real confidence in the products they are stocking.

Announcing the award at Intellicig’s R&D Facility within the Bioscience Incubator at Manchester University, Company Director David Newns said: “I’m delighted with the award. A large amount of resource in both time and money has been committed to achieve this, including employing a world-class in-house quality control department led by such a respected industry figure as Laboratory & Regulatory Manager David Lawson. It’s been a very worthwhile investment which is already delivering real benefits for Intellicig’s customers and business partners.”

Reducing the harm caused by smoking: delivering the benefits of consistent quality David Newns went on to say that: “We are already the foremost producer and supplier of high quality electronic cigarettes and nicotine preparations which provide a genuine, healthier alternative to smoking, but without the tar and many thousands of other harmful ingredients found in tobacco products.

"We now deliver a consistent, cost-effective product fully compliant with EU Good Manufacturing Practice. In a market of questionable quality, with many products coming in from outside the EU which barely meet minimum UK Trading Standards requirements, we are proud to be producing the first e-cig manufactured to the same exacting standard as a pharmaceutical product. Once again, Intellicig is setting the standard for the industry.”

Intellicig delivers pharmaceutical-grade nicotine using advanced electronic vaporisation technology, significantly reducing the exposure of smokers to harmful tobacco smoke.

Intellicig is a global smoking alternative now sold in 24 countries and across a number of distribution channels including 8,000 pharmacies and retail stores.

Intellicig signs Electronic Cigarette deal with Costcutter

Intellicig, the leading Electronic Cigarette company, is continuing to consolidate its market share by forming yet another strategic retail partnership with Costcutter, one of the largest symbol groups in the UK.

With over 1,550 stores across the UK supporting independent retailers and providing a world-class service, Costcutter will make Intellicig Electronic Cigarettes even more readily available to smokers.

The Costcutter maxim of 'Fresh, Local, Value' is one that Intellicig easily subscribes to, being a UK company that has developed and manufactures their ECOpure eliquid in Bioscience Laboratories at Manchester University.

Costcutter stores will be offering Intellicig Rechargeable and Intellicig Disposable electronic cigarettes along with ECOpure Refill Capsules. The Intellicig is not only cheaper than traditional cigarettes; it is less harmful, which is a key factor in smokers making the transition to this realistic alternative.

Tony Sefton, Sales Manager at Intellicig, commented, “The Costcutter partnership represents another successful milestone on our development road map. We are expanding on many fronts, having already sealed UK partnerships with thousands of retailers and pharmacies, and Intellicig products are now widely available to retail customers. We spend a significant amount of time on meticulous planning and preparation so that we can provide retailers, and the end user, with the optimum experience in terms of quality and support.”

The Costcutter brand is a familiar sight in many towns across the UK and is synonymous with quality and value, making Intellicig an ideal product partner. As the cost of smoking increases and more smokers become conscious of the harm caused by cigarettes, this technological marvel, the Intellicig, represents the intelligent choice as it is less harmful and much more affordable. Smokers are now freeing themselves from the stigma of smoking and can indulge in their pleasure without causing harm to others and without creating the odours associated with burning tobacco.
