Supplier Spotlight: Velo

Supplier Stories

Nicotine pouches are increasingly being seen as a viable alternative to cigarettes and other well-known tobacco-based products. Multiple manufacturers have arisen, creating healthy competition across the market. However, some stand out from the crowd. Velo is one of these, which is why we’re putting the supplier spotlight on them.

Who Is Velo?

Velo has the enviable status of the oldest nicotine pouch creator in the world. The company is owned by British American Tobacco (BAT). The parent company was founded in 1902 and is recognised as one of the biggest tobacco manufacturers in the world. It now operates in 180 countries and has headquarters in London. However, while Velo is owned by BAT, the Velo company was originally created in 2015. It was founded in Sweden and is known as the first all-white tobacco snus in the world. At the time, the company was called Epok and it used natural nicotine derived from the tobacco plant. Since 2022 the company and its products have been known as Velo. Interestingly, they were known as Velo in many places before 2022. This simply marked the official change point where the pouches were known by the same name across the globe. As you can understand, it was better for brand recognition.

Does Velo Use Synthetic Or Natural Nicotine?

Epok used natural nicotine and purified it to create a white tobacco. In contrast, when it became Velo they switched entirely to synthetic nicotine. This has helped the company create more flavours, appeal to a larger audience, and allow them to circumnavigate tobacco legislation in some parts of the world.

"After all, synthetic nicotine contains no tobacco."

Why Velo Is An Attractive Option

While there are plenty of tobacco pouch manufacturers, Velo is an attractive option because it offers something for everyone. We recommend those just starting with nicotine pouches try the more mellow flavours, such as ruby berry, strawberry ice, and even crispy peppermint. As you become more accustomed to pouches, try the original flavours, such as orange ice, minty lemon, and bright spearmint. For more intense flavours, switch to freezing peppermint or cinnamon flame. Of course, you’ll find Velo tobacco pouches in several size options. The size doesn’t affect the flavour, but you may find the smaller sizes easy to carry with you.
