Source from:  Marketwired 05/22/2014

Gilla Inc. (GLLA) is pleased to announce it has entered into a three-year exclusive agreement with Scandinavian Tobacco Group United Kingdom Ltd. ("STG UK" or the "Client")—the UK-based subsidiary of the world-leading cigar manufacturer and pipe tobacco company—to supply, brand and distribute a proprietary line of electronic cigarettes ("e-cigarettes"), vaporizers and e-liquids in that country. STG UK currently services just under 50% of the UK cigar market through over ten thousand retail outlets. In late 2013, the e-cigarette market in the UK was estimated at one hundred million pounds (￡100 million).

Gilla's turnkey solution for the Client will include premium e-cigarettes, vaporizers and e-liquid products, as well as packaging design and branding.

"This agreement demonstrates the increasing demand for Gilla's private label e-cigarette solution, along with the fact that we are an ideal partner for major players in the tobacco industry," said Graham Simmonds, CEO of Gilla.

"Our goal is to form lasting, successful relationships with our partners," stated Danny Yuranyi, President of Gilla. "We are excited about this new partnership and look forward to working with STG UK to continually innovate and improve the brand, the product and services and increase our value-add to them." Enditem
