    Nerudia opens U.S. office

    Nerudia is opening a new office to serve U.S. clients across the FMCG, tobacco, vaping and pharmaceutical industries.

    The office is in Reston, Virginia, just 10 minutes from Dulles International airport, giving easy access both internationally and domestically within the U.S. It is a high-growth tech area, which is conveniently located for access to the regulatory agencies and many of the major nicotine industry conferences.

    Nerudia is recruiting in both the U.S. and the U.K. to support its U.S. growth, as the demand for help with pre-market tobacco applications increases in light of the new regulations for the vapor industry. They are also working with pharmaceutical customers based in the U.S. who are looking to expand into Europe.

    The U.S. office will support and drive business development for all three divisions of the Nerudia business—innovation, consultancy and compliance—and U.K. based supply of e-liquids and base solutions. In the immediate term, all the testing and laboratory work will continue to be carried out in the U.K. at Nerudia’s GMP licensed facility.

    “The U.S. is a very important market for Nerudia and we are delighted to be opening an office in Reston,” Andy Gaunt, Nerudia’s chief commercial officer.

    “This will benefit us and our U.S. clients, both existing and new, with a much closer day-to-day relationship in the same time zone. A lot of U.S. clients who worked with us on the TPD regulations for the European side of their business are now turning their attention to the PMTA process, and having a team on the ground will be invaluable as we support and guide them through the complex new regulations.”

  • Peter Beckett joins Nerudia Compliance

    Peter Beckett has joined the Nerudia Group to establish Nerudia Compliance, a new subsidiary that will offer a full product stewardship solution to companies seeking to become compliant with the regulations and legislation governing the vapor industry.

    “We’re delighted to welcome Peter to the Nerudia team,” says Nerudia co-founder David Newns. “When it came to planning our compliance product offering, we knew that Peter was best placed to deliver our business vision. He has played a key role in the development of the legislation and has an enviable reputation for his detailed understanding of the industry.”

    Nerudia Compliance will help companies understand the requirements placed upon them and assist and guide customers through the submissions they must make to the authorities. In addition, Nerudia Compliance will offer access to Nerudia’s analytical services, which are able to provide the vital analytical and toxicology assessments required for submission.

    Nerudia Compliance’s global support ranges from consultancy and individually managed projects to an online Vaping Product Management System (VPMS). The VPMS will securely and confidentially manage requirements for regulatory submissions, including product technical file information as well as long-term product reporting requirements.

    The most immediate requirement for many companies will be compliance with the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), which will come into force in Europe next year.

    “Having been on the front line of the TPD negotiations, the logical next step is to help vaping companies of all sizes understand and comply with the new rules,” says Beckett. “TPD doesn’t need to mean the end of the businesses that made this industry what it is, and we intend to prove that. Nerudia’s commitment to quality and deep technical knowledge of vaping products is a perfect synergy with my ethos, and I can’t wait to get started.”
